Welcome to the Vermont Safe Routes to School Resource Center!

Safe Routes to School is a comprehensive program based on a simple premise: our kids should be able to safely walk and bike to school. The Safe Routes to School movement is taking hold across the country, as communities are helping kids and families walk and bike to school. Safe Routes to School programs combine education, engineering, enforcement, evaluation and encouragement to get more kids walking and biking to school and make conditions safer and more convenient.
 
We hope you find this website helpful to find information, resources and to learn more about the Vermont Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program. If you are new to the site and to SRTS, please check out our Getting Started section and learn about the Vermont SRTS Resource Center and about the history of SRTS.  Once you get familiar, you may begin to reveiw how to become a Partner or Friend of the Resource Center and learn more about the resources and services available.
