Safe Routes to Public Places Program

We anticipate the next call for projects in fall 2025. Reach out to Carrie Wiebelt to be added to the interest list.

The Safe Routes to Public Places Program is part of the overall Highway Safety Improvement Program and falls under the umbrella of the Louisiana Strategic Highway Safety Plan. HSIP funds are eligible to be spent on safety improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists on all public roads (state-owned and locally-owned) to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and injuries.

Funding

Federal funds meet 100% of project costs with no required local match within the limits of the DOTD's project funding commitment and eligibility requirements.

Eligibility

Any public agency is eligible to submit a project application.

Public agencies may apply for funding for the development and implementation of projects to improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users of all ages and abilities.

Eligible projects include improving pedestrian and bicycle facilities to schools, libraries, governmental buildings, hospitals, transit facilities, public parks, and other public places.

All public roads, state and locally-owned, are eligible under the SRTPPP.
