Safe Routes to School Plan

Program Recommendations The following programs are recommended to increase the awareness, understanding, and excitement for walking, biking, and rolling to school. Programs were selected through conversations with school and dis trict staff, caregivers, students, community members, and city and county staff, and are tailored to meet the needs and interests of the school community in the near term (one to five years). Some build on existing programs while others will require new resources and partnerships.

Programs have been prioritized into implementation timelines based on existing programs, input from local stakeholders, and readiness of the school to launch the program:

• Immediate implementation • Short-term (1-2 years) • Medium-term (2-3 years) • Long-term (3-5 years)

Additional details about each recommended program including a brief description, suggested leads, and an explanation of why the program is recommended are provided on the following pages.

Recommended programs include:

• Walk/Bike to School Days • Park & Walk • School Communications

• School Streets • Walk! Bike! Fun!

• Walking School Bus & Bike Train • In-school Curriculum & Activities
