Carter & MacRae Safe Routes to School Assessment & Recommendations
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.
This project is funded by a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Phases
Community Input: Carter & MacRae
During this phase, we're focusing on traffic safety in the area of Carter & MacRae Elementary, located at 251 South Prince Street. We're asking parents and guardians to tell us how their 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?
