This bill would change section 208(g)(3) of title 23 to add a federal funding rule for safe routes to school. If a State employs a safe routes to school coordinator, the federal share for any project or activity eligible under that section would be 95 percent. The bill also adjusts the section's wording by adding an "In general" clause.
If your State hires a safe routes to school coordinator, projects eligible under the safe routes to school section would receive 95% federal funding. That implies the non-federal share would be 5%. The change applies only to projects or activities eligible under that part of title 23.
