Safe Routes to School (SRTS)

Safe Routes to School (SRTS)is a national initiative with many resources for local communities.  The links below provide access to resources that describe the many facets of SRTS, funding sources, planning tools for implementation, and more.

Safe Routes to School is not 'a program' for a school; it is a concept for finding ways for children to have safe access to school through active transportation (walking/biking), and the possibilities to achieve that are as individualized as the schools in EHHD member towns.
