Safe Routes to School Program

Safe Routes to School programs enable community leaders, schools and parents across the United States to improve safety and encourage more children to safely walk and bicycle to school. In the process, programs are working to reduce traffic congestion and improve health and the environment, making communities more livable for everyone.

It is at the local level that the feet and tires of walkers and cyclists actually hit the pavement to make Safe Routes to School a healthy reality. Local SRTS efforts can start small with one individual or a small group of concerned parents who just want to offer their children healthy transportation alternatives. Programs can involve entire school districts, city planners, and health officials united by the goals of the SRTS movement: improved health and reduced childhood obesity, decreased traffic congestion, better air quality, and enhanced neighborhood safety.
