Safe Routes to School

 

Before Safe Routes to School (SRTS) was a nationally recognized and funded program, California legislation supported efforts around the state to make it easier and safer to walk and bicycle to school. Produced in 2000 and updated in 2001, the fact sheet outlines how cities and school districts are working together to create safer routes to school. It also outlines the many benefits of children walking or bicycling to school.
