Safe Routes to School Information:
How do you get to school? Are you able to walk or bike, or do you live too far, are too busy, or have to cross unsafe streets? Across Oregon, Safe Routes to School Programs are trying to overcome these barriers and make it safer, easier, and more fun for families to be active on the way to school.e
The City of Eagle Point recently received funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School Program. Click here to visit ODOT’s webpage with more information on this program. The funding will help us create a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan to identify how to improve streets near our schools which will support families in getting to school safely. The SRTS Plan will also outline opportunities for education and encouragement events to promote walking and biking to school.
Eagle Point was one of 14 communities/school districts throughout Oregon selected for the new project identification program.
The goals of the master plan process are:
- To engage school stakeholders around identifying and prioritizing projects and non-infrastructure activities that will address barriers to students walking and bicycling to schools.
- To identify and refine specific projects that are eligible for the ODOT SRTS Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure Grants and prepare jurisdictions to apply for the funding.
