Safe Routes to School (SRTS) FAQs Q. What is the Safe Routes to School program?
The Safe Routes to School program is a community approach to encourage and enable more people to walk and bicycle to school safely. Its about getting kids out of cars and onto their feet and bikes and promoting active lifestyles. SRTS does this primarily by identifying the safest routes from children’s homes to their schools and by pointing out safety concerns along routes for local agencies to investigate to determine potential improvement measures. The program involves two steps: (1) plan development and (2) project implementation.
