SB 141 creates a state grant program to fund sidewalk improvements around public schools. The Tennessee Department of Transportation will administer the program, providing competitive grants to local governments for designing, constructing, or repairing sidewalk infrastructure near schools. Local governments must match grant funds (either in cash or approved non-cash contributions), and the program is funded through state appropriations and donations. This directly affects school districts and local municipalities seeking to improve pedestrian safety for students.
