Maryland HB394 mandates county boards to prepare annual reports on safe alternative routes for public school students and requires county governing.

Maryland HB394 requires county boards of education to annually prepare a report identifying areas where students are ineligible for transportation services due to distance and pathways students can use to travel to school using only safe alternative routes. The county governing body must review this report and construct any necessary sidewalks and crosswalks to create safe alternative routes for students. If altering a road not under county jurisdiction is necessary, the governing body must develop a plan with the controlling entity and make reasonable efforts to execute the plan.
