WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL
We are looking for your input on creating Safe Routes To Schools. This is a way to give feedback on how we may encourage more kids to walk or bike to school (when not so cold outside!) Feel free to check out these resources and surveys below!
Online Interactive Map:
- This interactive map lets parents, school staff, and other community members share suggestions and concerns about transportation infrastructure in Rochester, as well as to record the different routes they walk and bike on.
- Please share this with all members of the school community, including staff, students, caregivers, and others familiar with transportation to, from, and around the school.
Caregiver Survey :
- This online survey, which is available in Spanish, Somali, and English, allows caregivers of students to directly report and share about their child/ren's travel behaviors to and from school, as well as about the various factors that influence how their child gets to and from school.
