Rep. Johnson Highlights Ohio Statehouse Transportation Grant Program

COLUMBUS – State Representative Mark Johnson (R-Chillicothe) today announced that the application for the Ohio Statehouse Transportation Grant will be open September 4 until September 13 at 11:59 p.m.

“It’s important that our youth visit our historic Capitol building where they can see first-hand how their state government functions,” said Rep. Johnson.

The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) will award 180 grants to schools across Ohio, helping cover the cost of school bus transportation to the Ohio Statehouse and its museum. Grants will be awarded evenly among three categories based on one-way travel from the applicant's school to the Ohio Statehouse:  

• 0 to 50 miles (60 grants)
• 51 to 100 miles (60 grants)
• 101+ miles (60 grants)
   

Only schools that receive state funding are eligible to apply.
