VRT Safe Routes to School is a program designed to encourage students to walk and bike to school to promote a healthy lifestyle, reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and enhance quality of life in our communities. We follow the 6 E’s – Engagement, Equity, Engineering, Education, Encouragement, and Evaluation, – to make routes safer, children and parents more knowledgeable, and the community more engaged so that more children will walk and bike to school. We want to ensure all students have the same opportunities to walk and bike in their neighborhoods, so we stay very involved with our agency partners who build and maintain our local streets and sidewalks.
We are currently working with the Boise, West Ada, Kuna, Nampa, Vallivue, and Caldwell School Districts along with many other partners across the Treasure Valley.
Make every route a Safe Route!
