Additional Project Details:
SCTA has approved two programs to receive funding for this project: Safe Routes to Schools and Bike Month. Safe Routes to Schools creates activities and materials to educate and promote safety through Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering and Evaluation (Five E’s). The Bike Month is designed to encourage commuters to try bicycling to work, school or errands during May and also to increase the public’s awareness and respect for bicyclists. The Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition (SCBC) and the SCTA are both eligible to receive funding.  The Sonoma County Department of Health Services received some funding to implement the Countywide program, but relinquished that responsibility back to SCTA for all future implementation.

Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS)
