To mark the launch of our new toolkit, Let’s Get Together: A Guide for Engaging Communities and Creating Change, the Safe Routes Partnership is hosting a free two-part webinar and Zoom networking session.
Join us as we dive into engineering strategies for Safe Routes to School projects.
Join us as we explore strategies for culturally responsive Safe Routes to School programming and what you can do to engage students and families facing barriers to participation like racial and cultural norms, language, and income.
We at the Safe Routes Partnership hope 2022 is off to a happy, healthy start for you and your communities. We celebrated the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) late in 2021, and now we are here to help you take advantage of the positive policy changes and new money included in the law.
This resource is for individuals, organizations, and government agencies working on equity and engagement in Safe Routes to School and beyond.
On Tuesday, January 11th from 11 am to noon Mountain, the Colorado Department of Transportation is hosting a free webinar presented by the Safe Routes Partnership:
Now that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) has been signed into law, we are seeing a flurry of excitement about what it means for Safe Routes to School, walking, and bicycling. And we are also seeing uncertainty about what the law requires and what it offers related to Safe Routes to School. In particular, the section that restored the Safe Routes to School program is leading to confusion for advocates and agencies alike. We are here to help you make sense of it what it means, why it happened like this, and what to do about it.

On Thursday, November 18th from 3pm-4pm CT the Houston Health Department is hosting a free webinar presented by the Safe Routes Partnership:
On November 5, 2021, the House passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. The Senate passed the bill in August, which means it now advances to President Biden to sign into law. Colloquially referred to as “the infrastructure bill”, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 is a monumental investment in the safety and support of people walking and bicycling.
While Democrats continue to iron out negotiations on Build Back Better, the partisan human-infrastructure bill, Congress passed another short-term extension for surface transportation on October 28th. This extension runs through December 3, 2021. As a reminder, these short-term extensions keep funding levels and policy unchanged.

Starting and Growing a Strong Safe Routes to School Program

This promotional tookit can be used to disseminate the report, Routes of Health: Exploring the Effects of Navigation Systems on Community Mobility, Safety, and Livability.
This report examines how the increased use of navigation systems is directing drivers into sensitive street zones, shifting traffic patterns and behaviors, creating a culture of health that's threatening active transportation, children’s health & safety, and the vitality of streets surrounding our parks, schools, and other community hubs.
Infrastructure for walking and biking can be seriously expensive. This fact sheet tells the story of two cities’ approach to paying for parks and connections to green space: general obligation bonds.
Use this guide and template to create your own evaluation table to outline your project goals, objectives and metrics.
This resource focuses specifically on funding infrastructure (physical improvements), but some of these funding resources can also pay for non-construction phases that make infrastructure possible like conducting traffic studies and installing drainage to manage storm water.
This factsheet offers evaluation techniques for all phases of safe routes efforts as well as how and when they can be most useful so that you can incorporate evaluation from the beginning, rather than solely at the end.
This fact sheet invites non-profit organizations, community-based organizations (CBOs), and advocates to think through multiple perspectives on how unhoused people resting, living, and gathering in parks affects overall park access and use compassionately and practically.
