In total, 24 project applications from 15 municipalities requesting over $4,500,000 were received; however, just over $2,000,000 is being awarded at this time. The Statewide Planning Program, Department of Transportation, and a Project Selection Committee evaluated and ranked the proposals, and finalists were selected based upon their recommendations.
The Statewide Planning Program will formally announce the 2010 Safe Routes to School grant award recipients at an event scheduled for Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 4:00 PM in the Atrium of the RI Department of Administration.
