Operation Lifesaver Inc. (OLI) is calling for applications for its latest round of Rail Transit Safety Education grants.
The grants offer a total of $190,000 in funding for transit agencies and government entities that provide transit service to conduct rail transit safety education and public awareness initiatives, OLI officials said in a news release.
The grants help empower transit agencies nationwide to promote rail safety education in their communities, said OLI Executive Director Rachel Maleh.
Applications are due Sept. 1. Grant awards will be announced by Oct. 15.
Grant amounts are capped at $20,000 and require nonfederal matching funds of at least 25% of project costs. Projects must be focused on safety education or public awareness initiatives in communities with operating or planned transit-rail systems. OLI approves all materials created as part of the grant and all grants must be coordinated with state Operation Lifesaver programs.
“We are grateful to the Federal Transit Administration for the agency’s continuing support that helps make these grants, as well as our ongoing rail safety education and outreach efforts, possible," Maleh said.
