Abstract:

This project contributes to developing a technical infrastructure to support the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program,

specifically to monitor its growth and to evaluate its effectiveness. Since its inception in 2005, the SRTS program

mandated by SAFETEA-LU has benefited about 6,489 schools The National Center for Safe Routes to School keeps track

of these schools by compiling tallies of children walking or biking to school and by collecting parent surveys. Each state

works to have a fair and effective distribution of resources to the neediest schools.

This proposal adds to an on-going Pooled Fund project spearheaded by the Washington State Department of

Transportation to support information exchanges and research between several participating states, including Florida,

Texas, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. Over the past two years, the PI and her team have been working with WSDOT to

provide technical support to members of the Pooled Fund. This proposal is to fill a relatively small but very important gap

in the current knowledge about SRTS: that is the lack of data on the schools specific locations. Having spatial data on the

location of schools will facilitate the selection of SRTS projects and the monitoring the SRTS programs over time. We

propose to geocode schools nationwide in relation to existing transportation facilities. This would enable state SRTS

coordinators to quickly evaluate the schools proximity to different types of transportation facilities and to establish their

related level of exposure to traffic. Geocoded schools would also allow coordinators to analyze the characteristics of the

neighborhoods around the schools based on spatial data that are readily available from the US Census.
