Safe Routes to School

Beaverton Safe Routes to School Logo

Walk, Bike, Bus... It's the Way to Go! 

The Beaverton Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is all about creating safe, convenient and fun opportunities for students to walk and roll (skateboard, bike, scooter and bus) to and from school. This is important for the health and safety of our kids and to foster the creation of livable, vibrant communities. The SRTS program aims to increases physical activity and improve unsafe walking and bicycling conditions. Find more information about who we are, what we do and why we do it!

Please contact SRTS for any support or questions. 


 

International Walk + Roll to School Day is Wed. October 4th

Anti-idling campaign

June 26th, 2023                  Anti-idling Campaign at Fir Grove!

The Green Team at Fir Grove Elementary took a stand against car idling with a student-led anti-idle campaign. Before deciding to take on this issue, the students met with a Safe Routes to School team member and learned about the science behind global warming as well as the negative impacts of idling.

If your schools' Green Team would like to do a similar project in the fall, let us know and we will schedule a visit to your school next year!

New Wayfinder signs up!

June 19th, 2023                            New Wayfinder signs!

We have embarked on a wayfinding sign project, funded with a grant from ODOT, to enhance navigation and safety for pedestrians around Elmonica, Hazeldale, and Kinnaman elementary schools. These newly installed signs serve as clear markers along the walk routes, providing important information and improved the neighborhoods' navigability for students and the community.

Beaverton's Safe Routes to School Program is possible with support from Metro, Oregon Department of Transportation and City of Beaverton. Thank you!
