Safe Routes to School Meeting on Wed to prepare for Thursday.


At tonight's City Council meeting (audio here), I mentioned the Safe Routes to Schools grant and that I was interested in the City putting in a proposal. I stated that I was going to have a quick meeting with a number of interested community representatives as well as several community grant writers on Wednesday Evening at 7 pm at the Dunwoody Farmhouse. I was thinking of having the meeting tomorrow but both of my sons have football games going on with the Atlanta Colts; therefore I have moved it to Wednesday evening.

All are welcome on Wednesday but the goal of the meeting is to review the requirements of the grant and prepare for Thursday mornings meeting with GDOT in order to put the best proposal out for consideration.

The Safe Routes To School (SRTS) program is designed to fund comprehensive programs that include the 5 Es (Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Evaluation, and Engineering) throughout Georgia to encourage and enable more children to walk and bike to school safely. The funds are intended to start an SRTS program in communities and assist community members in sustaining successful SRTS programs.
