Safe Routes to School is a federally funded program that encourages children to walk, bike, and roll to school through programming and infrastructure improvements.
  • The programming part brings together community members, teachers, school staff, public health workers, planners, and others to change how we move around our communities. We collaboratively encourage more children and families to walk, bike, or roll to school
  • The infrastructure piece aims to improve safety conditions of routes to school. The Safe Routes to School program is a key component of the Town’s “Vision Zero” initiative– the Town’s strategy to increase the safety of people getting around town using various modes of transportation.

The Town of Chapel Hill is committed to improving connectivity and safety for everyone walking, biking, and rolling.
