Superintendent's Message
Ashland Families, Students and Community Members,
We need your input!
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a comprehensive program to make school communities safer by combining engineering tools and engagement with education about safety and
activities to enable and encourage students to walk and roll to school. SRTS programs involve partnerships among municipalities, school districts, transit districts, parks and
recreation districts, public health agencies, community members, parent volunteers, and community groups.
The benefits of implementing a SRTS Plan include improving safety, increasing access, encouraging physical activity, and reducing traffic congestion and motor vehicle emissions near schools. Implementing SRTS programs and projects benefits adjacent neighborhoods, as well as students and their families, by reducing traffic conflicts and enabling walking
and rolling trips for all purposes. Learn more at www.oregonsaferoutes.org.
Ashland Community Vision for SRTS
The Ashland community envisions a future where students and their families safely, comfortably, and conveniently walk and bicycle as part of the daily school commute and a healthy lifestyle. That vision is embodied in the draft plan and it needs your voice!
When complete, the SRTS plan will serve as a basis for the City of Ashland to apply for Oregon Department of Transportation Grants to improve biking and walking access to our schools.
It will also provide a basis for a joint application by Ashland Schools and Phoenix-Talent Schools, as well as other partner agencies, to apply for grant dollars that will support bike safety education four our students.
Your input is essential in plan development - please take a few minutes by July 7 to let us know your thoughts on the current draft plan here.
A special thank you to the City of Ashland and Public Works Director, Scott Fleury, for reaching out to the schools on this partnership.
Have a great summer,
Samuel
