ITEM: Resolution No. 13 -7006
Resolution of support for the City of Salina to submit an application to the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT) for use of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) federal funds and authorize the City
Manager to sign the application.
BACKGROUND:
The Federal -aid Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS) remains an eligible program within the
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) that was authorized under the Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century (MAP -21), coordinated through the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).
Through the SRTS program, funds are available for infrastructure and non infrastructure projects, and
help to administer SRTS programs that benefit elementary and middle school children in grades K -8.
SRTS Program Purpose:
(1) To enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to
school;
(2) To make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation
alternative, thereby encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age; and
(3) To facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of projects and activities that will
improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
This program is intended to be comprehensive by combining five components, often referred to as the
"5 E's ". These components are: engineering, education, enforcement, encouragement, and
evaluation. Eligible funding categories include infrastructure - related projects, such as sidewalk
improvements and off - street bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and non infrastructu re-related activities.
The Kansas SRTS Program administers infrastructure - related projects though a phased approach.
Phase 1: In the first stage, funding is used to create a SRTS Plan that includes all of the "5 E's ".
Funding can be used for technical assistance, assessment and project/activity planning
support. USD #305 and the City of Salina received funding for this phase in 2007.
Phase 2: In the second stage, funding is used for implementation of all or portions of a SRTS Plan.
Applicants are eligible for Phase 2 funding only after they have developed a
comprehensive SRTS Plan. While this is considered an infrastructure - related project,
activities involving education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation must also be
completed. Project funding is $200,000 maximum. The applicant will be 100%
responsible for plan preparation (design costs), the acquisition of right -of -way, and the
adjustment of utilities.
Projects and activities in each category should directly support increased safety and convenience for
elementary and middle school children in grades K -8 to bicycle and /or walk to school. The location
being proposed for Phase 2 funding (shown on the attached exhibit) in this application is the
Lakewood Middle School walking trail.
This project is estimated at $74,175 with a 20% local match required by the applicant. The

comprehensive SRTS Plan document application has been prepared by USD #305 staff in
coordination with City staff. The SRTS Plan will include the following:
• A completed Application Cover Sheet;
• A narrative describing the current conditions;
• A narrative about the public involvement process;
• A narrative about the initiatives for all of the "5 E's ";
• A detailed budget;
• Resolution of Support and Administration from the appropriate city or county agency;
• A letter of support and co- sponsorship from the identified school district(s); and
• Letters of support from members of the community.
The City of Salina would be responsible for project administration and for maintenance should the
project be selected. The local match for the City and USD 305 would be $7,417.50 each. Upon
approval of the grant, the City will draw up documents for USD 305 to dedicate a sidewalk easement
within which to locate the trail segment. This section of trail is included as a "future" section in the City
of Salina's trail plan, a copy of which is attached.
FISCAL NOTE:
The City of Salina would be the sponsoring agency and would be required to enter into a contract with
Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) for reimbursement of eligible costs, minus the 20%
local match. Proposed is that the City of Salina and USD 305 would each provide 10% of the cost for
the Lakewood walking trail project ($7,417.50).
CONFORMANCE WITH STRATEGIC PLAN:
Support of this grant application would conform to Section 2 (c) of the City of Salina's Shared Vision
Statement. "Salina will become a city with "connectivity ". This means that bicycle and walking trails
along roadways, the flood control levee, and the Smoky Hill River will be used to connect residential
neighborhoods, commercial areas, schools, and parks."
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has identified the following options and recommends Option 1.
Option 1. Adopt Resolution No. 13 -7006 for the City of Salina to submit an application to the
Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) for use of Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
federal funds and authorize the City Manager to sign the application.
Option 2. Do not adopt Resolution No. 13 -7006 and provide staff with direction.

I. INTRODUCTION
Background
The Federal -aid Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS) remains an eligible program within the
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) that was authorized under the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21" Century (MAP -21). Through the SRTS program, funds are available for
infrastructure and noninfrastructure projects, and to administer SRTS programs that benefit
elementary and middle school children in grades K -8. Full federal guidance on TAP can be
found at http : / /www.tbwa.. dot. gov /map21 /guidance /guidetap.cfni.
SRTS Program Purpose
(1) To enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and
bicycle to school;
(2) To make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation
alternative, thereby encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age; and
(3) To facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of projects and activities
that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and air pollution in the
vicinity of schools.
SRTS Program Outcomes
There are many possible outcomes as a result of successfully implementing SRTS projects and
activities at the state and local level.
Desired outcomes of the SRTS Program include:
• Increased bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic safety
• More children walking and bicycling to and from schools
• Decreased traffic congestion
• Improved childhood health
• Reduced childhood obesity
• Encouragement of healthy and active lifestyles
• Improved air quality
• Improved community safety
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Increased community security
• Enhanced community accessibility
• Increased community involvement
• Improvements to the physical environment that increase the ability to walk and bicycle to
and from schools
• Improved partnerships among schools, local municipalities, parents, and other
community groups, including non - profit organizations
• Increased interest in bicycle and pedestrian accommodations throughout a community
2
Comprehensive Nature of SRTS Activities —The "5 E's"
This program is intended to be comprehensive by combining five components, often referred to
as the "5 E's ". These components are:
a) Engineering. Creating operational and physical improvements to the infrastructure
surrounding schools that reduce speeds and potential conflicts with motor vehicle traffic,
and establish safer and fully accessible crossings, walkways, trails and bikeways.
b) Education — Teaching children about the broad range of transportation choices,
instructing them in important lifelong bicycling and walking safety skills, and launching
driver safety campaigns in the vicinity of schools.
c) Enforcement — Partnering with local law enforcement to ensure traffic laws are obeyed
in the vicinity of schools (this includes enforcement of speeds, yielding to pedestrians in
crossings, and proper walking and bicycling behaviors), and initiating community
enforcement.
d) Encouragement — Using events and activities to promote walking and bicycling.
e) Evaluation — Monitoring and documenting outcomes and trends through the collection
of data, including the collection of data before and after the intervention(s).
H. PROJECT ELIGIBILTY
Eligible Funding Categories
(1) PHASE 1— Funding is used to create a SRTS Plan that includes all of the "5 E's ". Funding
can be used for technical assistance, assessment and project /activity planning support.
(2) PHASE 2—Funding is used for implementation of all or portions of a SRTS Plan.
Applicants are eligible for Phase 2 funding only after they have developed a comprehensive
SRTS Plan. Examples of eligible Phase 2 items include:
• Sidewalk improvements
• Traffic calming and speed reduction improvements
• Pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements
• On- street bicycle facilities
• Off - street bicycle and pedestrian facilities
• Secure bicycle parking facilities
• Traffic diversion improvements in the vicinity of schools
While Phase 2 funding is used primarily for engineering components, activities involving
education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation must also be completed by the recipient.
(3) NONINFRASTRUCTURE- RELATED ACTIVITES — Funding may be used for
noninfrastructure - related activities to encourage walking and bicycling to school, including:
• Public awareness campaigns and outreach to press and community leaders
• Traffic education and enforcement in the vicinity of schools
• Student sessions on bicycle and pedestrian safety, health, and environment
• Funding for training, volunteers, and managers of safe routes to school programs
Eligible School Grades
Projects in each category should directly support increased safety and convenience for
elementary and middle school children in grades K -8 to bicycle and /or walk to school. Projects
may indirectly benefit high school age youth or the general public, however these constituencies
cannot be the sole or primary beneficiaries.
Private schools are eligible for SRTS funding if the schools serve children in grades K -8, the
schools are full -time, and there are children who live within two miles of the schools.
Eligible Jurisdictional Levels
SRTS activities can occur at three jurisdictional levels. Examples of the type of projects typically
requested by the different jurisdiction levels are:
1. Individual school -based projects: These projects are typically engineering - related projects
that are coordinated with noninfrastructure activities to create comprehensive programs.
However, noninfrastructure -only projects may be appropriate where a safe environment
for walking and bicycling already exists but few children are walking or bicycling to and
from school.
2. Multi- school projects: This category includes school district -based projects, multi -
district, city, county or other sub -state or regional configuration. In many cases, these
projects will be primarily noninfrastructure activities and relate to training, education,
encouragement, and enforcement activities. Projects that address school curriculum and
training, Walk to School Day promotion, and media - oriented strategies are likely to be
more effectively administered and implemented at some collective level above the
individual school. Multi- school projects can also include engineering - related projects,
however these projects are most effective when the necessary engineering improvements
surrounding the multiple schools are minimal.
3. State -wide activities: Examples of state -level activities include training, publication and
distribution of materials, providing a pool of engineering expertise and /or safety
educators for schools to draw upon, or mounting a media campaign or state curriculum
initiative.
Eligible Project Locations
(1) Engineering - related projects must be located within approximately two miles of a
primary or middle school (grades K -8). Schools with grades that extend higher than grade 8, but
which include grades that fall within the eligible range, are eligible to receive infrastructure
improvements. Construction projects must be within the public right -of -way. This may include
projects on private land that have public access easements. Public property includes lands that
are owned by a public entity, including those lands owned by public school districts.
(2) Traffic education and enforcement activities must take place within approximately two
miles of a primary or middle school (grades K -8). Other eligible activities under the
noninfrastructure portion of the SRTS Program do not have a location restriction.
0
III. PROJECT FUNDING
* *IMPORTANT —NEW THIS YEAR **
The applicant must assume responsibility for at least twenty (20) percent of the eligible project
costs (also known as the local match).
(1) PHASE 1— Federal project funding will be capped at $12,000
(2) PHASE 2— Federal project funding will be capped at $200,000
(3) NONINFRASTRUCTURE - RELATED PROJECT FUNDING —Given the wide range of
possible noninfrastructure - related projects, funding maximums will be determined on a case -by-
case basis and will be dependent on the type of project that is submitted.
Funds cannot be used for reoccurring costs. For example, funds could not be used to pay crossing
guard salaries, as these are reoccurring costs, however funds could be used for crossing guard
training programs. Funding requests for costs that are expected to be reoccurring in future years
should include plans for how the costs will be funded in the future.
Eligible Costs
(1) Within the following funding categories the eligible project costs will be determined on a
case -by -case basis.
• Phase 1 SRTS Plan creation
• Noninfrastructure- related projects
The project review committee will determine if the project costs described within the application
and /or SRTS Plan specifically serve the stated purpose of the SRTS Program and are therefore
eligible for reimbursement.
(2) For Phase 2 projects, eligible costs include construction, construction engineering, and
materials. The applicant will be 100% responsible for plan preparation (design costs), the
acquisition of right -of -way, and the adjustment of utilities.
Funds for projects that reorganize pick -up and drop -off primarily for the conveniences of drivers
rather than to improve child safety and /or walking and bicycling access are not permitted.
Furthermore, funds cannot be used on education programs that are primarily focused on bus
safety. Improvements to bus stops are not eligible for funding.
Specific Funding Guidelines
SRTS is not a typical "grant" program, but rather functions as a federal reimbursement program.
Sponsoring agencies will be required to enter into a contract with KDOT in which the agency
agrees to pay for work as it is performed. The sponsoring agent will then submit proper proof of
payment to KDOT for reimbursement. KDOT will reimburse the program sponsor as the bills are
submitted.
5
IV. PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA
Applications should be comprehensive and address both infrastructure and noninfrastructure
activities. Applicants should show evidence that they are either planning these activities or
already have adequate programs that address all of the "E's ".
Other criterion considered during project selection includes:
• Demonstrated needs
• Identification of safety hazards
• Potential of proposal to reduce child injuries and fatalities
• Potential of proposal to create a safe walking and bicycling built environment within
approximately two miles of a school
• Potential of proposal to encourage walking and bicycling among students
