Report
Summary
On Aug. 30, 2017, the City entered into an agreement with the Eagle College Preparatory Schools, Creighton School District, and the Laveen School District to allocate funds awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through the Safe Routes to School Grant Program. The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) sent a formal call for Safe Route to School grant applications to all school districts and charter schools in Maricopa County. Street Transportation Department staff worked with the schools that expressed interest in applying for the grant funds to complete the applications. Applications were then submitted by the City to MAG on behalf of the schools and school districts.
The initial agreement required the grant funds to be spent by Dec. 31, 2018. Currently, the school districts have remaining funds and are seeking an extension through May 22, 2019, to spend the remaining balance.
Financial Impact
This action has no financial impact to the City of Phoenix.
