Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School
Learn from people who know how to make things happen.
America Walks, in partnership with the National Center for Safe Routes to School, developed the Safe Routes Coaching Action Network to share our expertise on starting and running Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Programs.
These monthly webinars are FREE and are designed to educate parents, students, teachers, agency staff, community members, professionals, and other interested parties about safe routes to school. Each webinar lasts 60 minutes and covers topics that will help you lead a successful grassroots action. You’ll have the opportunity to pose questions of the presenters and see real-time polls of the meeting attendees.
