City of Palm Springs Receives Safe Routes to Schools Funding!
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
The California Safe Routes to School program has awarded the City of Palm Springs a grant in the amount of $329,400. This award will support community education, increased enforcement of traffic laws, and engineering improvements for four elementary schools in the Palm Springs Unified School District, with the goal of encouraging more students to walk and bike to school. Proposal development included coordination of substantial community input and support.
This is the second successful Safe Routes to School proposal prepared by the Glen Price Group in as many years, in what is a highly competitive funding process. In 2007, a proposal for Safe Routes to School funding for the City of Richmond was awarded a grant of $412,167.
