The Safe Routes to School National Partnership is a network of more than 350 nonprofit organizations, government agencies, schools, and professionals working together to advance the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) movement in the United States. SRTS can provide a variety of important benefits to children and their communities, including increasing physical activity, reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, and enhancing neighborhood safety.

State of the States Chart Sent to Governors The Partnership sent a letter to each state’s Governor (96KB, pdf) regarding state implementation of the federal SRTS program. The Partnership also shared with each Governor the State of the States chart (54KB, pdf), showing the progress each state has made on implementing SRTS. We’d like to hear more from state and local organizations that have received federal SRTS funding about what is and is not working well in terms of implementation procedures. Please fill out this survey out by December 23.
