TRAINING

A number of organizations conduct training for Safe Routes to School project managers.

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center, with support and funding from the Federal Highway Administration and the Centers for Disease Control, developed the Safe Routes to School National Course. The course is intended for audiences at national, state, and local levels, and can be presented as a comprehensive overview of SRTS issues and programs, or used to identify and solve problems in a community.

The National Center for Bicycling and Walking provides Walkable Community Workshops that build alliances among elected officials, agencies, and citizen leaders to create safer and more welcoming accommodations for pedestrians. These can include discussions of Safe Routes to School activities at the community’s request.

BikeWalk offers the BikeWalk Safe Routes to School Workshop – an introductory workshop covering the basics of bicycling and pedestrian facilities, including special design considerations for children, a survey of safe routes programs in other communities and what they’re doing to encourage children to walk to school, and how to engage students and parents in safe routes to school programs.

Finally, many members of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals provide SRTS-related training and support to communities.
