Statewide srts coordinator 25-27

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) $349,041.01 through a Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 2, 2025. This award supports the establishment and operation of a statewide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Coordinator position for the 2025-2027 period. The primary deliverable is the promotion and facilitation of Safe Routes to School projects throughout Washington State, which aim to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety infrastructure and programming for students accessing schools.

The SRTS Coordinator position will leverage federal highway planning and construction resources to advance multimodal transportation improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure enhancements that align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities. As a formula grant administered through WSDOT's established federal transportation infrastructure management capabilities, this award provides dedicated funding to coordinate statewide SRTS initiatives and support local transportation alternatives programming designed to enhance school access and student safety.
