SRTS (Safe Routes to School) programs

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs aim to make it safer and easier for children to walk or bike to school. They involve improvements like better sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic calming measures, and education for students and drivers. The goal is to promote healthier, more active lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion around schools, and improve safety for students, especially those walking or biking. By creating safer, more inviting routes, SRTS encourages more children to travel sustainably, benefiting their health and the environment, while making the school commute safer and more accessible for everyone.
