Safe Routes to School

The Oregon Trail School District Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan lays the foundation for schools, the community, the City of Sandy, Clackamas County, and the Oregon Department of Transp`ortation (ODOT) to work together on reducing barriers for students walking and biking to school and making it safer. The SRTS Plan includes both recommendations for short and long-term construction projects, as well as ideas for education and engagement events to promote healthy, active lifestyles.  Several infrastructure improvements are potential candidates for the Oregon Department Of Transportation's SRTS Competitive Grant Program, while others could be managed by the school district or integrated into the City’s Transportation System Plan (TSP) update for future consideration.  Members of the school community, including administration, teachers, parents, and students, can also contribute through education and encouragement activities to make walking or biking easier and more fun for the school commute.
