Safe Routes to School

The San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization’ s (MPO) Safe Routes to Schools (SRS) Program is modeled after the national SRS program that is designed to promote walking and bicycling to school through education and incentives that promote walking and cycling as well as identifying infrastructure improvements. Goals of the local SRS program include:

1. Help the community better understand their walking and bicycling environment.
2. Help the community identify infrastructure improvements that can be made to improve walking and cycling.
3. Serve as an educational process for local infrastructure and operational programs that are available through the various public agencies.
4. Serve as a two-way communication forum between the community and the transportation agency staffs.

The MPO targets elementary and middle schools from a list of suggested schools provided by the San Antonio Police Department School Safety Officers.
