Final Safe Routes To Schools Plan

The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a comprehensive program to make school communities safer by combining engineering tools and engagement with education about safety and activities to enable and encourage students to walk and roll to school. SRTS programs involve partnerships among municipalities, school districts, transit districts, parks and recreation districts, public health agencies, community members, parent volunteers, and community groups.

The benefits of implementing a SRTS Plan include improving safety, increasing access, encouraging physical activity, and reducing traffic congestion and motor vehicle emissions near schools. Implementing SRTS programs and projects benefits adjacent neighborhoods, as well as students and their families, by reducing traffic conflicts and enabling walking and rolling trips for all purposes. 

The completed plan serves as a basis for the City of Culver to apply for Oregon Department of Transportation Grants to improve biking and walking access to our schools.
