School Travel Plans
A SRTS School Travel Plan maps out how to improve pedestrian and bicycle travel to and from school and help increase the number of students who walk and bike to school by improving student safety. A School Travel Plan identifies the following:
- Where students currently walk and bike
- Where students would walk and bike if they could
- What changes need to be made so that students can and will walk and bike to school
The School Travel Plan will identify short term solutions for immediate action and implementation as well as long term ones that require further planning.
School Travel Plans are often mandatory elements for grant applications which provide funding for infrastructure improvements in school zones. Click here to view the New Jersey SRTS Travel Plan Guide.
School Travel Tallies
To help measure the effectiveness of a Safe Routes to School program, schools can collect data in the form of a School Travel Tally.
School Travel Tallies look at how students travel to and from school, and can be used to pinpoint areas of improvement in pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure around school zones. School Travel Tallies are often mandatory in applying for grants to fund improvements.
A school travel tally can be completed in just two or three minutes. To see how quick and easy the process can be, watch our Student Travel Tally training video, created with the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University.
