Welcome to C-U Safe Routes to School!
C-U Safe Routes to School Project (C-U SRTS PROJECT) is an organization with representatives from the CU Mass Transit District, Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, CU Public Health District, Urbana and Champaign planning, engineering and law enforcement, Champaign County Bikes, Urbana and Champaign School Districts, as well as other educators, parents, and community members. The project came about after four years of organizing Walk & Bike to School Day in Champaign and Urbana schools and deciding that there was more that could be done to educate the community on pedestrian and bicycle safety issues.
Currently, we are operating on a grant from the National Center for Safe Routes to School, a federally funded program administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. As with any project, donations, event sponsors, and contributors are always welcomed and needed for our continued success.

If you are a student at UMS who walks or bikes to school, sign up for Boltage!
Boltage, is a new, free program that encourages young people to bike and walk to school. Students who sign-up for the program receive prizes for the number of days they bike or walk to school. The more days to bike or walk to school, the trips you earn, and the more wristbands and prizes you get. Wristbands indicate different levels of trips reached! Prizes will also include cinch packs, zipper pulls, blinky lights, and gift cards!
Sounds pretty cool, right? We think so too. Read more about Boltage here.
