Safe Routes to School (SRtS) is a national movement  to increase the number of students walking and biking to school safely.

Through a collaborative community effort, SRtS programs typically address:

• the safety of our streets and communities
• the health and fitness of our children
  
• traffic congestion
  

• air quality and other environmental issues

Successful programs typically include:

• Families: children, parents, guardians, neighbors, and extended family

• Schools: teachers, PTAs, administrators, staff
  
• Health Professionals: public health, school nurses, clinicians
  

• Design Professionals: engineers, planners, artists and other designers

• Public Safety Professionals: fire fighters, law enforcement, crossing guards
