Infrastructure Grant

Engineering Strategies

Infrastructure improvements, the 5th E – Engineering, must be accompanied by a SRTS Plan or a strong Education and Encouragement, the 4 Es, non-infrastructure program. Infrastructure projects must be within 2 mile radius of a grade K-8th school and substantially improve the ability of children to walk and bike to school.

Project Examples:

  • Conduct speed study to see if speed reduction is warranted
  • Construct, replace, improve, or repair sidewalks, signals, lighting, and pedestrian crossings
  • Create on-street bicycle facilities (bike lanes, widened shoulders, etc.)
  • Build off-street walking/bicycling paths
  • Install street crossing improvements (crosswalks, curb extensions, median refuges, raised crossings, pedestrian bridges, or tunnels)
  • Install new or improved lighting for walkways or bicycles
  • Install new or improved signage (school zone, speed limits, crosswalk)
  • Install new or improved pavement markings and bike lanes
  • Make existing walkways accessible  to disabled students
  • Install bicycle parking near schools (bike racks, bike lockers, covered shelters)
  • Install traffic calming or speed reduction measures (curb extensions, speed humps, traffic circles, raised crosswalks, narrowing lanes street closures)
  • Install traffic control devices (traffic signals, pedestrian signals, flashing beacons)
  • Design pick-up and drop-off procedures to increase safety and access
  • Divert traffic away from school zone or designated routes

Considerations

Local and State policies have a profound impact on the design and construction of infrastructure projects and may impede your project from being completed. Provide details of existing policies or agreements in place for utilities, maintenance and details of your project’s design and construction management if funded.
