Schools may want to consider partnering with cities, counties or regional agencies to apply for Sustainable Communities Planning Grants. Because schools are a gap in SB 375 legislation, and are not eligible to apply for these planning grants alone, transportation officials will likely be eager to involve schools in the process, rendering their applications highly competitive. |
