Description
The New Hampshire Department of Education’s Bureau of Career Development, Office of Career and Technical Education, administers competitive Transportation Incentive Grants to encourage transportation from sending high schools to regional CTE programs. The program uses remaining funds from a $4 million legislative appropriation for the 2024–2025 biennium to address transportation costs and barriers to participation.
Funding supports transportation expenses incurred during the 2024–2025 school year that state or federal reimbursement does not cover, along with innovative transportation solutions for the 2025–2026 school year. The program prioritizes sending districts with the greatest financial burden relative to transportation reimbursement. It also prioritizes proposals that reduce access barriers and increase the number of students attending specific regional CTE programs.
