Oregon Department of Transportation : Safe Routes to School Programs : Programs : State of Oregon Translate this site into other Languages tag, as divs are not allowed in 's --> Safe Routes to School Programs March 2026 funding update To address ODOT’s funding gap for the 2025-2027 budget cycle , the Oregon Legislature redirected state funding from a number of ODOT programs and projects.
This includes a $17 million redirection from the Safe Routes to School construction program. This is a one-time budget solution to prevent 470 layoffs and deep service reductions that would have impacted safety for all travelers in Oregon. This redirection will not affect projects that have already been selected .
While there will not be a funding opportunity for con s truction projects this year, federal funding is still available for Safe Routes to School education and technical assistance services. We will open up a funding opportunity for construction projects starting in early 2027 to be awarded in 2028.
“Safe Routes to School” refers to efforts that improve, educate, or encourage children safely walking (by foot or mobility device) or biking to school. The Oregon Department of Transportation has two main types of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs: Construction and Education and technical assistance.
Construction programs focus on making sure safe walking and biking routes exist through investments in crossings, sidewalks and bike lanes, flashing beacons, and the like. Education programs focus on education and outreach to assure awareness and safe use of walking and biking routes.

From 2005-2012 there was dedicated federal funding for Safe Routes to School infrastructure and non-infrastructure. When that went away, ODOT and the Oregon Transportation Commission used its discretion to continue some dedicated funding for non-infrastructure. Although there was no dedicated funding for infrastructure, several Safe Routes to School projects successfully competed for funding over the years.
In 2017, the Oregon Legislature passed the landmark transportation funding package (HB2017) which dedicates infrastructure funding once again to Safe Routes to School. Funding will flow into the Safe Routes to School Fund ( ORS 184. 740 ), guided by Oregon Administrative Rule 737-025 .
The new funding source for infrastructure money is state highway funds. These have different constitutional restrictions than federal funds and the Rule must be amended to make it consistent with state laws. Projects on school grounds, bike racks, off-road improvements and planning studies will no longer be eligible for infrastructure funding.
The Rulemaking Advisory Committee submitted the revised Rule to the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) in 2018. The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC), adopted the amended Oregon Safe Routes to School Rule (OAR 737-025) in 2018. The Safe Routes to School Advisory Committee, or SRAC , consists of approximately 15 volunteers who have been appointed by the ODOT Director.
The committee meets at least quarterly and is charged with recommending projects for funding in ODOT's Safe Routes to School Construction and Non-Construction Grant Programs. The committee is advisory to the Oregon Transportation Commission and ODOT.
