McCaskey Campus Schools Safe Routes to School Assessment
This project is a Safe Routes to School Assessment for the area near McCaskey Campus Schools including J.P. McCaskey High School, McCaskey East, Lincoln Middle School, and Wickersham Elementary.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a national program that exists to promote safe walking and biking to school. There are many benefits to walking and biking to school for students and the broader community, including improvements to student mental and physical health, better air quality, and reduced traffic congestion near schools. This initiative is part of Lancaster’s larger Vision Zero program, which aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries in the city.


Phases
Community Input: McCaskey Campus Schools
During this phase, we're collecting input from the public about the streets and crossings in the area of the McCaskey campus. We're asking parents/guardians and students to tell us how students get to school (walking, biking, bus, car, etc.) and why. What are the concerns or issues you have as you travel to and from school? Do any specific locations feel dangerous? How could safety around school be improved?
