Fall 2010 Mini-grant Application - The National Center for Safe Routes to School is now accepting applications for up to 35 mini-grants of $1,000 each to support the goal of SRTS programs, which is to enable and encourage children to safely walk and bicycle to school.  SRTS programs are implemented nationwide by parents, schools, community leaders, and local, state, and tribal governments.  The aim of the mini-grants is to use student creativity and leadership skills to increase safe walking and bicycling to school.  Successful applications will focus on either (a) increasing safe walking and/or bicycling to school, or (b) improving the safety of students already walking and/or bicycling to school.  Activities funded by the mini-grants must be part of a broader walking and/or bicycling to school effort. Applications are due Wed., April 7, 2010, and recipients will be announced by Wednesday, May 26, 2010.  Activities must be completed by December 31, 2010, or the end of the Fall 2010 semester, whichever is later.
