It makes <br />recommendations to the legislature and to state agencies with statutory <br />responsibilities in the areas of bicycle safety. <br />The Department of Public Safety is the state agency authorized by statute <br />to administer highway and traffic safety programs under the Federal Highway <br />Safety Act of 1966, as amended. This act provides limited federal funding <br />for bicycle safety programs. The Bicycle Safety Committee is responsible <br />for reviewing proposals and recommending approvals and funding levels for <br />community bicycle safety projects. <br />The Bicycle Safety Committee is authorized to select the several community <br />proposals which, in its opinion, would provide the greatest effectiveness <br />for the limited funding available. That funding totals $50,000 for the <br />period October 1, 1978, through September 30, 1979. The Committee is, <br />therefore, soliciting proposals for bicycle safety projects from Minnesota <br />communities. <br />The proposals should consider the specific criteria listed below: <br />1. Must be submitted in writing to Office of Traffic Safety, 207 Trans- <br />portation Building, St. Paul, MN 55155, and received no later than <br />January 2, 1979. <br />2. Must include a concise statement of problem(s) goal(s), and /or <br />objective(s), proposed actions planned to resolve problem(s), and <br />method(s) of evaluating effectiveness. <br />3. Must include a complete budget indicating a) total cost of project, <br />b) federal funds requested and local funds (if any) included, c) types <br />of expenses for which federal funds will be used (i.e. salaries, equip- <br />ment and supplies, indirect costs, etc.). A statement of support or <br />approval from the Mayor and City Council must also be included in the <br />proposal, and similar statements from the Chief of Police and appropriate <br />judicial and school district personnel would be helpful. <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
