The Oregon Safe Routes to School Action Plan is a community-based approach for increasing rates of active school travel. School staff, parents and students work together with community stakeholders, such as city or county staff, non-profits and public health officials to create the SRTS Action Plan. Learn about the template, how to use the online login and develop the plan for your schools.

SRTS: Engineering and Infrastructure

Speakers: Laughton Elliott-Deangelis, SRTS Coordinator, Springfield School District, Sarah Mazze, SRTS Program Manager, Eugene 4J School District, and Abra McNair, Communication and Special Projects, PBOT 

As SRTS practitioners, gaps in infrastructure are constantly coming to light. Whether through walk audits, action planning, or concerned parents, the list grows. Prioritizing these projects for funding in transparent, objective and equitable ways is an important part of the work. Learn about several tools that Oregon practitioners have used to prioritize projects ranging from bike parking to raised crossings.
