Two area communities aim to empower more children to walk, bike or roll to school after receiving federal funding through Safe Routes to School grants.
Johnstown received nearly $370,000 for infrastructure projects regarding Elwell Elementary and Windsor received nearly $180,000 for planning and education, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release.
The two grants are just a piece of nearly $8 million awarded by the federal government through CDOT for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the department said.
Johnstown’s $368,953 in funding will, at least in part, be put toward installing a high-intensity activated crosswalk, creating a safer, pedestrian-focused crossing at Colorado Boulevard near Elwell Elementary.
Windsor’s grant — in the amount of $178,021 — is slated to be used to create plans for safe travel routes to and from schools, implement bicycle and pedestrian education in schools, raise awareness through public communications and mobilize a task force coalition to sustain the initiative, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release.
Safe Routes to School is a federally funded reimbursement program established in 2005 to increase pedestrian safety awareness among motorists and schoolchildren. CDOT administers the program, according to the release.
