C-U SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL

Welcome to the C-U Safe Routes to School Project!

C-U Safe Routes to School Project’s (C-U SRTS Project) goal is to make it safer and more fun for students to walk and bike to school and to encourage more walking and biking. The C-U SRTS Project Steering Committee is composed of local community members, public health, planning and transportation professionals, local bicycle organizations, and school district that all play roles in making it more appealing and safer for students to walk, bike or roll to school. Underserved communities deserve particular attention as they more often walk and bike for transportation.

Snow Removal Program 2022-2023

Picture
​C-U SRTS Project is pleased to offer a program to assist schools and neighborhoods in providing students with safe routes to and from school and other destinations during the winter months.  The program will run from January to March 2022.  The Snow Removal Encouragement Program is intended to increase the number of neighborhood sidewalks that are cleared of snow.  It encourages neighbors to clear their sidewalks and driveways of snow so that children, and others, can walk to and from school and to other destinations without walking in the street.​

We are also asking for nominations of people and/or businesses who are exceptional snow removal volunteers to be rewarded and recognized as “Snow Angels” at MTD and Urbana School Board meetings. Nominees do not need to be signed up in our Snow Removal Program, but can be someone in your neighborhood who always clears their sidewalk and helps neighbors with their sidewalk too.
