Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a program that aspires to provide quality education and infrastructure so that students may start their day by actively walking or bicycling to school. In order to create a successful SRTS program, collaboration amongst schools, teachers, parents, community leaders, and local governments is vital. At the MPO we strive to work alongside local partners in order to create a safe and efficient commute to school.
