Legislation requires each state to have one<br />
full-time Safe Routes to School Coordinator to<br />
serve as a point of contact <strong>for</strong> the state.<br />
Most states have just one full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff person<br />
<strong>for</strong> their Safe Routes to School program, though staffing<br />
levels vary. Some states report no Safe Routes to School staff<br />
at this time and Michigan and Texas report 5.5 and 14 FTE staff, respectively.<br />
The staffing structure also varies from state to state. Alaska<br />
reports only one FTE Safe Routes to School staff but notes they have<br />
three Americorps volunteers assisting with messaging and promotion<br />
to schools. Texas reports 1.5 FTE staff in Austin, but also has a Safe<br />
Routes to School Coordinator in each of their 25 field districts. It was<br />
noted that these positions are not dedicated exclusively to the Safe<br />
Routes to School program and so this was estimated to be an additional<br />
12.5 FTE staff (25 Coordinator positions at 50% of their time). Hawaii<br />
reported “less than one” FTE staff and Alabama, North Carolina,<br />
Oklahoma and South Dakota reported zero Safe Routes to School staff<br />
at the time of this survey.<br />
