C-U Safe Routes to School Project

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.
