Washington state is building traffic safety partnerships throughout the state to align priorities and leverage resources to improve traffic safety. The Target Zero Plan is the result of this work and represents Washington’s strategic roadmap for eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by the year 2030. The Target Zero Plan provides a comprehensive framework with specific priorities, goals, and strategies.
ODOT’s Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) is the policy plan for coordination of programs and investments in measures improving safety for all transportation modes for the whole state.
Youth support for policy change, program development and community planning is powerful and can be the catalyst to success: When kids speak up, adults listen.
The Safe Routes Partnership is pleased to support the For Every Kid Coalition in the Pacific Northwest region. For Every Kid is a growing coalition calling for Safe Routes to School for every kid in the Metro-area; vocal support from cities and school districts is an outcome of key partners coming together to promote the benefits and work with communities and we have been an active part of the leadership of this effort.
Local leaders agree: creating safe options to walk, bike, or ride the bus to school is critical to improving the health of kids.
School Districts in Washington, take note. Cascade Bicycle Club and Feet First are offering a mini grant program to get more kids moving more. Let them support your efforts to increase the number of children bicycling and walking to school — funding is available to 25 schools or school districts across WA toward this goal.
Applications Due: currently accepting applications on a rolling basis. (Note work must be completed by June 1, 2017.)
