EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michimich -- Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Mini Grants for the 2026-2027 school year are open. K-12 schools and affiliated nonprofits are invited to apply for funding to support active transportation programming in Michigan.

SRTS is an international movement and a federal program to make it safe, convenient and fun for children, including those with disabilities, to walk, bike and roll to school. When routes are safe, walking, biking and rolling to and from school helps children get the regular physical activity they need for good health. SRTS initiatives also help ease traffic jams and air pollution, unite neighborhoods and contribute to students' readiness to learn in school.
