Safe Routes to School Toolkit

The Safe Routes to School Toolkit is a resource that helps communities promote safe, healthy, and active transportation options for students traveling to and from school. It provides practical strategies, planning guides, and best practices for improving infrastructure like sidewalks, crossings, and bike lanes, as well as programs to encourage walking and biking. The goal is to make routes safer and more inviting for children, reducing traffic congestion and pollution while promoting physical activity and independence. Ultimately, it supports creating a community environment where students can commute safely and confidently, reinforcing health and safety priorities.
