S.1828

Safe Routes Improvement Act requires states to designate a coordinator for the safe routes to school program.

The Safe Routes Improvement Act mandates that each state designate a coordinator for the safe routes to school program. The coordinator's primary role is to serve as the point of contact for the program within the state. States have the flexibility to use existing staff or funds to support this position. Additionally, states must provide the coordinator's contact information on their department of transportation's website. If a vacancy arises, it must be filled within 180 days.
