Increased Federal Funding for Safer Routes to School Programs.

This bill aims to boost child safety on routes to school by offering significant financial incentives to states. If a state hires a dedicated "safe routes to school coordinator," the federal government will cover 95% of the costs for eligible safety projects. This change makes it much cheaper for states and local communities to implement improvements like new sidewalks and crosswalks.
