MOUNDRIDGE, Kan. — Moundridge Parents and Teachers Together is a member of the first class of Planning and Programming Grant awardees from the Kansas Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to Schools program.

The KDOT SRTS Program is looking forward to work with communities across the state to create SRTS plans and fund effort that will get SRTS momentum going in those communities.

The Kansas Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program remains an eligible program under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), signed into law November 2021, which reauthorized transportation funding and includes significant increases and changes to active transportation funding programs.

Through the Kansas SRTS Program, funds are available to provide resources, technical assistance, and project funding to encourage and enable students in grades K–12 to walk, bike, or roll to school. A comprehensive approach to SRTS includes both infrastructure and non-infrastructure countermeasures and programs.
