SRTS Signs and Lines Program
The 2021 Application Period Opens August 18, 2021
The SRTS Signs and Lines Program will provide design services and up to $6,000 in construction funding to a selected municipality for a low-cost infrastructure project around a public elementary or middle school. The goal of these projects is to eliminate small barriers that students encounter when walking, bicycling, or using a wheeled mobility device to get to school. Examples of a Signs and Lines Project could include the purchase and installation of new signage or pavement markings. This is a reimbursement-based funding program; MassDOT reimburses the municipality for eligible spending after the project is complete. Please review the 2021-2022 SRTS Signs and Lines Guidance Document prior to beginning the application.

POP-UP Projects for Safe Routes to School
Â
This guide explores how schools can use pop-up demonstration projects to improve safety on and around campus. These temporary activations, often referred to as tactical urbanism can be used to promote walking and biking to, from, and around campus. You will find examples of local, national, and international projects, tips to support implementation efforts, and links to 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
