Kids on the Go Act of 2025

This legislation proposes an amendment to federal transportation law, specifically concerning the funding of "safe routes to school" projects. The core provision establishes a new financial incentive for states that actively support these safety initiatives. Under the proposed change, if a state employs a dedicated safe routes to school coordinator , the federal government's financial contribution for eligible projects and activities will be set at 95 percent . This significant increase in federal funding aims to reduce the financial burden on states, thereby encouraging them to maintain or establish these crucial coordinator positions. The bill seeks to enhance the safety of children's commutes by making it more financially attractive for states to invest in related infrastructure and programs.
