Section 2307-8.0 - Project Selection and Prioritization8.1 Limits on funding have been set to enable more participants to develop a SRTS program DelDOT shall implement an evaluation process for project selection based on a statewide competition as set out in the Delaware legislation 17 Del.C. § 1022. The following factors will be used to rate submitted proposals: (1) demonstrated needs of the applicant; (2) potential for reducing child injuries and fatalities; (3) potential of the proposal for encouraging increased walking and bicycling among students; and, (4) completion of a "Safe Routes to School" plan that identifies safety hazards, and current and potential walking and bicycling routes to school, and involves students, parents, teachers, local transportation agencies, law enforcement agencies and school officials in the plan development process.8.2 Prioritization of proposals will be based on a rating system and scale that will be defined in the "Delaware Safe Routes to School Program Sourcebook" The Sourcebook will also establish the closing date for proposals and the issue date of awards. The SRTS coordinator will make the project selection. DelDOT reserves the right to judge the capability of the applicant. If the sum of all proposals received is less than the sum of funds to be awarded, no prioritization will be made.8.3 All inquiries are welcome. The state coordinator is available to provide information, answer questions, participate in meetings, and assist potential SRTS participants in initiating a SRTS program.
