Florida SRTS (Safe Routes To School) Update
We are now five years into Florida’s SRTS program. Since the beginning of the program, 198 projects totaling $64,150,653 have been selected for funding and put into our Work Program! Some of these projects have been completed, some are being worked on now, and some are scheduled to be constructed or implemented in the next five years.
This includes both Infrastructure projects (like sidewalks and traffic engineering support) and Non-Infrastructure programs like educational and encouragement programs.
Florida has 1,501 public schools serving grades K-8. In the first five years, 257 schools (10.3%) have directly benefitted from these projects and programs. These schools are listed in the Work Program project descriptions. Besides the schools which directly benefitted, many more schools have received educational and encouragement programs through SRTS-funded groups which are providing programs to multiple schools.
