[HealthyTribes] Funding for Safe Routes to School Programming Available Now

[Gramp Heather]

Good Morning Partners -

I know a number of you are working to increase opportunities for active transportation, and leveraging the neighborhood oriented work of school partners as a way to do that. Please see below for a current funding opportunity from Oregon Department of Transportation.

As always, your liaison is available if you have any questions, or would like to confer and brainstorm about how this fits into our work on chronic disease prevention and self-management. Good luck!
