Safe Routes to School Program Launches at SATEC!

The Vermont Safe Routes to School Resource Center is managed by the Vermont Agency of Transportation.  Safe Routes to School is a federally supported program to encourage walking and biking to school; regularly, routinely, and safely.  SRTS integrates elements of transportation, economics, health and physical activity, environmental awareness and safety into one program. Safe Routes to School (SRTS) helps and encourages kids and families to walk and bike to school as part of a daily routine. SATEC is implementing the SRTS program for the first time this year, and we hope you will become involved!

Who Benefits?
·    Safe Routes to School improves safety, visibility, accessibility, and convenience of key routes to and from school. And it’s fun!
·    Skill-building activities and street improvements increase the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as motorists, and help overcome barriers to walking and biking.
·    Walking and biking are social activities that allow more contact with people and easier exploration of the neighborhood and neighborhood schools.
·    More kids walking and biking to school increases the eyes and ears on the street, which minimizes the threat of crime.
·    Kids who walk and bike to school gain freedom, independence, empowerment, self-advocacy, and positive life-long habits.
·    Regular physical activity improves health, fitness, self-esteem, energy, relaxation, and alertness and behavior in school.
·       Safe Routes reduces traffic congestion and air pollution and improves traffic safety.
