Required next actionConfirm the school/community project fits the 2026 Safe Routes to School Infrastructure guidance, secure or request a GeoDOT account, assemble the school-area safety need and proposed infrastructure scope, develop the budget and supporting documentation required in the guidance, and submit through the Massachusetts Project Intake Tool (MaPIT) before the October 16 deadline.
Broad Eligibility
MassDOT's 2026-2027 SRTS Infrastructure cycle serves Massachusetts school communities. Safe Routes to School partner schools that had participated for at least six months as of August 26, 2026 are encouraged to apply, with a municipal contact serving as the primary applicant. Applications are submitted through MaPIT and require a GeoDOT account. Current guidance controls project-specific eligibility and scope.
Atlas Analysis
A strong school-safety and public-health infrastructure opportunity because it can remove built-environment barriers to walking, bicycling and accessible mobility around schools. Atlas does not publish a dollar ceiling because MassDOT's current public program page does not state one; applicants should rely on the 2026 guidance inside the application process.
MassDOT’s 2026 Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Project Funding Program supports built-environment improvements that make walking, bicycling, and wheeled mobility safer and more practical around Massachusetts schools. Applications are being accepted from August 26 through October 16, 2026 through the Massachusetts Project Intake Tool (MaPIT).
Projects should address documented school-area transportation and safety barriers and must follow the 2026 Infrastructure Application Guidance for eligibility, scope, engineering, budget, and submission requirements. MassDOT’s current public page does not publish a universal project funding ceiling, so Atlas does not estimate one.
Deadline
MassDOT’s current official materials list the application deadline as October 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The current public sources reviewed do not separately label a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. This is a strong school-safety and public-health infrastructure opportunity, but not a direct clinical-technology procurement.
From Funding to Implementation · School Health Solution
Turn school-health funding into a clinically capable care model.
Dr. Miltie N9+ can support clinician-directed remote exams in school settings, helping care teams move beyond video-only encounters when a funded program calls for stronger pediatric access.
