Kansas SRTS invites you to take a brief survey to help inform our first Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Strategic Action Plan and to register for a 1.5-hour facilitated virtual focus group and listening session. Would you help share the message with your networks of school administrators & teachers and PTO & parents?
Survey and Focus Groups – Kansas SRTS
Kansas SRTS is a multi-faceted effort that promotes walking, biking, and rolling to school using policies, programs, and projects. Thanks to increased staffing and funding over the last year, this program has grown dramatically and now includes grant programs, communications efforts, and state-wide resources to support K-12 students walking, biking, and rolling in communities across the state. The program’s next step is to create a Strategic Action Plan to determine the SRTS vision, goals, and action items for the next five years.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) offers the public two ways to provide input for the SRTS program – an online survey and virtual webinars. Information gathered will help direct future SRTS programs and recommendations.
The Strategic Action Plan survey asks about current SRTS efforts, barriers, opportunities, and needs to help develop the plan. This survey is for anyone who would like to see the Kansas SRTS program grow into a strong program for students of all backgrounds and abilities. The 15-minute survey is open until September 30 and is available, here.
Please register and join a focus group and listening session to talk about what you are doing in your community, what is needed to encourage more students to walk, bike, and roll, and what barriers stand in the way.
