What is Safe Routes?

Safe Routes to School is both a planning and educational program designed to make the neighborhoods around schools safer for walking and cycling. This goal is accomplished in two ways:

1) By documenting and promoting awareness of hazards on local roads.

2) By recommending improvements to roadways and sidewalks through the use of: traffic calming elements, signage and roadway marking improvements, and the installation or improvement of sidewalks and crosswalks.
