MnSRTS Network survey
It is that time of year when we assess our activities to inform how best to support SRTS next year. Please take the 2019 MN Network survey. We are asking questions about this year and interests for future Network calls, the 2020 SRTS Meet Up and general comments. It only takes seven (estimated) minutes to complete.
Winter Walk to School Day is Feb. 5 – registration open
Snow has started to fly, now is a great time to start planning efforts for Winter Walk to School Day. Get your school registered and we will mail you a packet of materials to help your event be a success. The Golden Snow Boot award will be given to the best photo submitted from WTSD efforts.
Safe Routes to Parks funding
The Safe Routes Partnership invites communities and organizations working to improve safe, equitable access to local parks to apply for the 2020 Safe Routes to Parks Activating Communities program. The program provides tailored technical assistance for seven communities to develop Safe Routes to Parks action plans and awards $12,500 to each community to begin implementation of those plans. Applications are now being accepted with a deadline of Dec. 16, 2019.

With so much happening across Minnesota, it was a pleasure to capture all of the work and progress in a 2018-2019 report. The MnSRTS team has submitted the biannual MnSRTS legislative report and encourages you review and share the report with partners.
