View the complete Draft Esko Safe Routes to School Plan Document HereThe purpose of the Esko Safe Routes to School (SRTS) plan is to identify barriers and unsafe conditions for children walking and biking to school in Esko. The SRTS program is designed to work with school staff, students, and parents to evaluate the school’s surrounding, educate on the SRTS concept, enforce safety-related policies,engineer pedestrian-friendly facilities and encourage participation. These key areas of evaluation, education, enforcement, engineering and encouragement help create a community where students can travel to school on their own and parents and school staff feel comfortable about their safety. ARDC will work with a local steering committee to complete the Esko Safe Routes to School plan. Input from the following people and agencies will be valuable:
