Active and Safe Routes to School

Active & Safe Routes to School (ASRTS) is a comprehensive community-based program that supports active transportation initiatives for the daily trip to school. Active transportation is walking, biking, skating or using other physical ways of getting around instead of using a car or motorized vehicle. 

The ASRTS web site provides resources, tools, information and links for schools and communities to create their own unique Active & Safe Routes to School program.

ASRTS walking programs include:

• International Walk to School Month
• Spring into Spring
• The IWalk Club
• Walk/Wheel on Wednesday’s
• School Safety Zone
• No Idling at School
• The Walking School Bus
• Classroom Mapping
• Ideas for High Schools
