Safe Routes to School

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is an international movement and federal program that aims to create safe, convenient, and enjoyable routes for children, including those with disabilities, to walk or bike to school. By ensuring the safety of these routes, SRTS encourages regular physical activity, which is crucial for children's overall health. Additionally, SRTS initiatives help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, foster community cohesion, and enhance students' readiness to learn in school.

SRTS offers various trainings and resources to support schools in implementing safe routes to school programs. They provide mini grants and major grants for infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects, such as improving sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes. Through their programs and events like Walk Roll to School Day and Bike Roll to School Day, SRTS promotes active transportation and advocates for the well-being of students with disabilities. Overall, SRTS plays a vital role in creating a safe and healthy environment for children to travel to school.
