Columbus, OH
In Ohio's urban school districts, one in 446 students has been hit by a car. In suburban districts, it's one in 1,473.
Because schools are often located at the center of communities, safety improvements benefit people of all ages by slowing traffic and making streets safer. While the bigger issue is keeping kids safe, Safe Routes to School also helps kids walk and bicycle to school more often through infrastructure improvements, education and promotional activities. Safe Routes to School also lessen the burden on school transportations budgets and place less pressure on parents to subsidize their kids’ safe travel by chauffeuring their children in a private vehicle.
