Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects include over 4600 total recommendations for improving safety for students walking and biking to school. Of those, 1864 recommendations rank high or very-high benefit and are the focus of implementation.
All SRTS projects are selected for implementation using the following guiding principles:
1) Implement projects that have either a high / very-high overall benefit; or a high / very high cost / benefit score,
2) Make meaningful improvements walking and bicycling to as many schools as possible;
3) For the 2016 bond funding, balance funding equally per district, as per council direction;
4) Other available sources of funding will be leveraged to implement additional projects.
