Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a program designed to make it easier and safer for children to walk or bike to school. It focuses on improving the infrastructure around schools, such as adding sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes. The goal is to encourage more families to choose active transportation, which can lead to healthier lifestyles.
The initiative also involves community education and engagement, teaching children and parents about safe travel practices. By fostering a safer environment, Safe Routes to School aims to reduce traffic congestion around schools and promote a sense of community among families and neighbors.
