Roads that
are safe for our children to walk and ride bikes to school are
roads that are safe for everyone. Safe Routes to School programs
engage communities in creating a plan that uses four elements
to create safe neighborhoods for all members.
- Facilities
to make it safer to walk and ride
- Education
of children and other community members
- Enforcement
of traffic laws for all road users
- Promotion
of an active healthy life style
mobiliti
consultants are certified Safe Routes to School Instructors
and can facilitate your efforts through organizing:
- Meetings to
investigate your objectives
- Community
walkabouts to see what changes are possible
- A plan to
let everyone know what needs to be done
- Continuing
help in implementing the plan.
Safe Routes to
School projects typically last up to six months and require
significant volunteer effort at the local level. Consulting
fees will range from $5,000-15,000 for plan development. Plan
implementation may extend beyond a year and will incur additional
consulting fees.
