The City of San Mateo's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program collaborate with local school districts, schools, the County Office of Education, the San Mateo Police Department, parent and community volunteers, and other community groups to implement the Safe Routes to School program. Safe Routes to School is a nationwide effort to encourage students and families to get to school safely by means other than a car.
Why Walk and Roll to School?
Walking and biking to school keeps children happy, healthy and focused. It establishes healthy habits and an active lifestyle that is more likely to continue as children age. It promotes social inclusion, functional independence and spatial intelligence. And it improves transportation safety, reduces traffic congestion and helps us all combat climate change.
