Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a federal grant opportunity to create a city-wide program to make it safe, convenient and fun for children, including those with disabilities, to walk, bike, or roll to school.
The Royal Oak Safe Routes to School Initiative is a collaboration between the City of Royal Oak, Royal Oak Schools, Shrine High School and Academy, and St. Mary Catholic School.
Royal Oak City Commissioner Rebecca Cheezum is leading the coordination of this grant application and has provided an update to Keller families. Watch the video now.
Keller families are asked to take the survey, after watching the video update, by Tuesday, October 27.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) “is an international movement and a federal program to make it safe, convenient, and fun for children, including those with disabilities, to bicycle and walk to school. When routes are safe, walking or biking to and from school is an easy way to get the regular physical activity children need for good health. Safe Routes to School initiatives also help ease traffic jams, unite neighborhoods, and contribute to students’ readiness to learn in school.”
