School Zone Grants

Two types of grants: (1) School Zone Crossing Guard Grants: reimbursement grants up to $300 for existing crossing guard patrols or up to $500 for new school patrols, funding training materials, equipment and supplies including flags, cones, signs, whistles, vests, raincoats, gloves, and hats. (2) Law Enforcement Equipment Grants for School Zones: funds for state, county, city and tribal law enforcement agencies to purchase radar, rain gear, and other equipment used to enforce school zone speed limits. Law enforcement grants are calculated based on eligible traffic citations issued in school zones within one year prior to application date, with each citation contributing $25 toward funding. Grants open annually on August 30 and close on May 1 the following year.
