How do SR2S programs work?
Schools and organizations applying for SR2S funding are advised to form a local team consisting of school administrators, municipal officials, teachers, parents, student leaders, traffic engineers, law enforcement officers and other interested community members. This team works together to assess attitudes and behaviors of parents and students, analyze the physical environment leading to the school and research related school policies. The team then makes an application to the state’s SR2S program for funding for projects. Funds can be used to improve infrastructure, and fund non-infrastructure programs that include education, enforcement and encouragement. Applications must address each of the 5E’s associated with SR2S . Go to theNational Center for Safe Routes to School websitefor more information.
