The Virginia Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program is now accepting applications for our new $1,000 QuickStart Mini-grants. These mini-grants are appropriate for communities that plan to start a SRTS program this fall, or for communities with an on-going SRTS program that need a little help with a SRTS event. Title 1 schools are encouraged to apply and will be given priority.

The first round of applications is due by September 6, 2012, and will be announced in mid-September, in time to support an International Walk to School Day event and related activities. Communities are encouraged to schedule their Walk to School Day events during the month of October. International Walk to School Day is Wednesday, October 3.
