    ​What are the Six Es?

    The SRTS program is built around the “Six Es of Safe Routes to School” - engagement, equity, education, encouragement, engineering, and evaluation. This comprehensive approach enables communities to establish, maintain and continue to increase safe walking and bicycling opportunities to school by  addressing students, parents, teachers, and motorists.

    Engagement

    Listening to students, families, teachers, school leaders, and community  organizations.

    Equity

    Ensuring initiatives benefit all demographic groups, with particular attention to ensuring safe, healthy, and fair outcomes for low-income students, students of color, students of all genders, students with disabilities, and others.

    Education

    Teaching students that walking and bicycling are healthy, fun, and sustainable transportation choices.

    Encouragement

    Offering events, activities, and lessons to promote walking and bicycling.

    Engineering

    Making physical improvements to infrastructure that make walking and  bicycling safer, more comfortable, and more convenient.

    Evaluation

    Analyzing SRTS programs for equitable outcomes and potential unintended consequences to improve effectiveness.
