SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT PROVIDES NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
Clarkston School District had recently been awarded a grant for the “Safe Routes to School” program. Safe
Routes to School (SRTS) is an approach that promotes walking and
bicycling to school through infrastructure improvements, enforcement,
tools, safety education, and incentives to encourage walking and
bicycling to school. Nationally, 10%–14% of car trips during morning
rush hour are for school travel.
