Safe Routes to School

This program makes it safer for kids to travel to and from school and around the neighborhood.

Safe routes for students and children

The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program improves the City's streets. It does this by making pedestrian and bicycle improvements for students and children. We use the SRTS program resources and projects in a fair and equitable manner.
