SRTS Coordinator By State

New:
Oklahoma Posted 6/26/06
New Mexico Posted 6/19/06
Arizona Posted 6/13/06
Arkansas Posted 5/15/06

Each State administers its own program. Contact your Safe Routes to School State Coordinator for guidance on policies and project eligibility requirements in your State.

Since the new Federal-aid SRTS Program is just getting started, most States are still in the process of filling their full-time Coordinator position. Once a State has a SRTS Coordinator in place, you will need to contact that person with inquiries about procedures, policies and funding for your State. The list below will be updated on an ongoing basis as State Coordinators are appointed.
