We Need Your Help!
Dear parents and caregivers,
This year, the City of Rochester is working with Rochester Public Schools with funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to create a Safe Routes to School plan. The plan will recommend ways to make walking and biking to school easier, safer, and more comfortable for students and families. The website below links to a survey that asks your feelings about walking and biking to school. Completing this survey will help us create a better plan!
Please help us reach this goal by filling out this 5–10-minute survey!
