Safe Routes to School
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program receives federal and local funds to encourage and facilitate active transportation for school children. In 2022, the Council of the District of Columbia passed the Safe Streets for Students Amendment Act with the goal to improve transportation safety infrastructure around schools, giving the SRTS team additional funding and direction towards improving school areas in the District. The SRTS team conducts reviews of the built environment around schools, focusing on transportation infrastructure that provides traffic calming and safety improvements. These improvements include traffic pattern changes, identifying pick-up and drop-off curbside spaces, crosswalk and school zone signage upgrades, signal changes, pavement marking improvements, and speed hump installations.
