The Kids on the Go Act of 2025 amends federal highway funding rules to incentivize states to hire dedicated safe routes to school coordinators. Currently, states receive standard federal funding matches for eligible transportation projects; this bill increases that federal match to 95 percent for states that employ a full-time safe routes to school coordinator. This change affects state transportation departments and local communities implementing safe walking and biking programs near schools. The bill provides a financial incentive to help states dedicate resources to improving pedestrian and bicycle safety for students traveling to and from school, with no specific budget amount or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation.
