The Sonoma County Safe Routes to School program, funded by the county Measure M transportation tax, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding, Safe Routes to School state &/or federal funds, and Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit supports grassroots Safe Routes to School efforts by providing guidance and resources to interested schools. The goal of Safe Routes to School programs is to encoura

ge walking and bicycling where it is safe, and to advocate for needed changes where biking or walking is not safe. SRTS programs use an integrated approach that includes five E's - encouragement, education, evaluation, engagement, and equity. A school can launch a SRTS program with just one component, and build from there. In doing so, SRTS programs address health and safety by reducing traffic congestion around schools, increasing physical activity, encouraging lifestyle changes for families, creating safer, calmer streets and neighborhoods, and improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services, and the Sonoma County Transportation Authority partner to implement this program.

Welcome back to school! We are excited to start walking and rolling to school – and anywhere – this year! This September, we challenge you to form a group with two or more students or families to walk or roll to school or to another destination for fun, connection, and safety in numbers! Form a group with two or more students from neighboring families to walk (or park & walk), scooter, bike, carpool, or ride the bus together. Then, tell us your travel success story so we can share it to inspire others! We will select three inspiring buddy travel groups to highlight in our newsletter, and will award $50.00 to each of the winning travel groups! &roll

This morning, SRTS staff, along with residents, neighbors, families, and staff from City of Santa Rosa Transportation and Public Works, joined in to paint red curb, add striping and coning to the intersection of Comalli Street and Lazzini Avenue, behind Roseland Creek Elementary School and Roseland Accelerated Middle School (RAMS). The improvements made to this intersection are meant to improve visibility for students walking and biking to the two campuses. 

The improvements are designed to help keep intersection corners clear of parked vehicles that can obstruct visibility and help to shorten the unprotected walking distance when crossing. By improving sight lines for students, families, cyclists, and motorists, the project will support safer travel to and from Roseland Creek Elementary and RAMS. 

A big thank you to our volunteers and to school and district leadership for supporting this project!
