City of Youngstown Receives ODOT Safe Routes to School Funding

Tuesday, September 18, 2018

The Ohio Department of Transportation announced that Youngstown received nearly $400,000 in funding for its Safe Routes to School program. 

The funding will be used to improve sidewalks, curb ramps, and crossings around five schools--Paul C. Bunn, MLK, Taft, Harding, and Valley Christian.  Improvements around Taft and Harding will build from work already completed in 2017 and 2018 as part of previous Safe Routes to School projects funded through ODOT and Eastgate Regional Council of Governments.  Improvements around Williamson and McGuffey Elementary Schools are scheduled for completion in 2019.
