Additional Resources
Engineering Forum
In November 2018, the Massachusetts Safe Routes to School Program held its first Engineering forum. The forum covered topics including:
- Tools used to identify built environment needs
- A beginner's guide to transportation infrastructure around schools
- A discussion of how a recently installed crosswalk was successfully constructed in Ashland
- The fundamentals of infrastructure funding
- The new infrastructure application process
Low Cost sign and lines application
The Safe Routes to School Signs and Lines Program will provide up to $10,000 to a selected municipality for a low-cost infrastructure project around a public elementary or middle school. Eligible costs may include:
- Engineering design
- Purchase and installation of new M.U.T.C.D. signage
- Installation of new pavement markings
- Eradication of existing signage and pavement markings
- Other low-cost improvements as approved by MassDOT
In the 2018-2019 school year, one municipality was selected to pilot this program.; Based on the successful completion of this project in the spring of 2019, additional projects may be offered.
When fully launched, this program will have a competitive application process. If granted a project, the municipality will be required to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with MassDOT detailing the terms of the project and funding.; The program will include a walk audit, project recommendations, a design sheet, a bid package (if applicable), and reimbursement to the municipality for associated costs of implementing the planned improvements.
