Safe Routes to School Program
Survey Feedback Requested (deadline 11/10/2025)
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program promotes safe, active transportation through education, encouragement, engineering, and more. It is a comprehensive approach to encourage neighborhood safety and accessibility for everyone, especially children walking and biking to school. Parent/Caregiver feedback will allow the City of Lawrence to identify opportunities to improve infrastructure to make streets safer for all road users, whether they drive or use active transportation modes such as walking or bicycling.
