Safe Routes to Schools Program
Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) Alameda County, spearheaded by TransForm, is a collaboration of TransForm, the Alameda County Public Health Department, Cycles of Change, and many other local agencies and organizations. The program provides trainings, resources and customized support at no cost; while working together with schools, parents, and the local community to give kids an active, healthy start to the school day, reduce traffic congestion, and improve environmental health.
Read TransForm's report, Bringing Safe Routes to Scale, describing the need for new funding for the nine-county Bay Area so that every community can enjoy the benefits of Safe Routes to Schools. This report helped persuade the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to adopt the recommendation for a regional Safe Routes program at their July 2008 meeting.
The Safe Routes to Schools Program is funded in part with a major grant from Measure B -- Alameda County's half cent transportation sales tax, administered by ACTIA.
September 2008: SR2S Walking School Bus program was covered on ABC 7 news.
