The SRTS Program is designed to enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school; to make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative; and to facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of schools. Today, less than fifteen percent of children walk or bicycle to school. The sharp decline in walking and bicycling has had a negative impact on traffic congestion, air quality and student safety around schools. SRTS addresses these concerns and provides resources to establish a program in your community!
