4 SECTION 2: OUR VISION Our Vision. In 100 words or less, explain your team s vision for your program in the space below. It is the vision of the Thornville-Glenford Team to provide safe walking and biking travel routes for all K-8 students within reasonable walking distance of Glenford and Thornville Elementary Schools. Students safety is our number one priority. The Glenford and Thornville Elementary Schools will provide community educational programs that encourage safely walking and bicycling to school, as well as promoting fitness. Promoting healthy life styles at an early age will benefit these students for a lifetime. 3

5 SECTION 3: CURRENT STUDENT TRAVEL GLENFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 3A. How many students live within walking and bicycling distance of school?

A map showing the school attendance boundary, school site and dots indicating where students live is included is Appendix B. 3B. How many students are currently walking and bicycling to school? What are the primary walking and bicycling routes? Glenford Elementary School: Walk Bike School Bus Family Vehicle Carpool Public Transit Other Number of students (morning trips) Number of students (afternoon trips) Primary walking / bicycling routes 4% 0% 74% 21% 0.5% 0% 0.3% 4% 0% 73% 22% 1% 0% 0.3% SR 204 / High Street 3C. Are there any school or district policies that impact students walking or bicycling to school? District Bus Policies Policy: It is the policy of the Board of Education to provide transportation for those students whose distance from their school makes this service necessary within the limitations established by State law and the regulations of the State Superintendent of Instruction. 4 Children living beyond the following walking limits shall be entitled to bus transportation:

6 A. Kindergarten one (1) mile B. Grades 1 through 6 one (1) mile C. Grades 7 through 12 one (1) mile Exceptions to the foregoing limits may be made in the case of adverse safety conditions. How it affects student travel modes (3-5 sentences): As written, all students, without a disability, living within one mile of their school are not bussed to school. School Travel Policies The school follows the district s policy. 3D. School Arrival and Dismissal Process. Using prompt questions provided below, describe key school arrival and dismissal procedures at your school. Do school buses and parent vehicles use the same driveway for arrival and dismissal?

7 3E. Parent Attitudes towards walking and biking. Using the Parent Survey Summary Data Report generated by the National Center for Safe Routes to School, indicate the top 5 reasons impacting the decisions of parents who currently DO NOT allow their children to walk or bicycle to school. Reasons for not allowing children to walk or bicycle to school: Distance. Speed of traffic along route. Amount of traffic along route. Weather or climate. Sidewalks or pathways. 3F. Safety Issues and Concerns. Summarize traffic safety issues and concerns that are gathered anecdotally from the team, parents and the community at large. Record your summary in the space below in 100 words or less. SR 204 is a very busy road that runs in front of the school. Large trucks are common along this road, traveling at high speeds through school zones. There are no sidewalks east of the school and no school zone signage. West of the school there are a significant number of homes that must be reached by crossing a bridge with no walkway, which it bottle necks SR 204 and SR 757, creating a safety concern. Many parents did indicate, however, that their children are interested in bicycling to school and they would let them if they lived closer and had the proper facilities. Relevant traffic crashes. There were 0 total crashes within the STP study area. The crashes resulted in 0 injuries and 0 fatalities. The number of crashes that involved bicycles was 0. The number of crashes that involved pedestrians was 0. 3G. Walking and bicycling encouragement activities at the school. Identify and describe activities at your school that support or encourage walking and bicycling. Activity Bike Raffle Bike Raffle Bike Rodeo How it encourages walking or bicycling (1-3 sentences) By turning in surveys, students had a chance to win a bicycle. Students who are caught being good are entered into a raffle to win a donated bicycle; winners are drawn every 9 weeks. Spring Fling students ride large trikes around a course at the school. There is bicycle safety information distributed at the event. 6

11 SECTION 4: KEY ISSUES IMPACTING SAFE WALKING AND BICYCLING TO SCHOOL Top 5 Issues impacting student ability to safely walk or bicycle to your school. Glenford Elementary Issue/Description 1. Issue: Glenford is located in a rural school district and, therefore, distance to the campus is a big concern for many parents as they don t want their children walking or bicycling that far on their own. 2. Issue: Many of the sidewalks along some students routes to school are in poor condition, while other routes do not have sidewalks. Because of the lack in appropriate walking or bicycling facilities, many parents don t want their children walking to school. 3. Issue: Glenford Elementary is located on SR 204. Parents are not comfortable letting their children walk on this road because of the speeds of vehicles and amount of truck traffic on the road. 4. Issue: Many parents are concerned with the safety of letting their children walk to school because of unsafe crossings and poor lighting along routes to school. 5. Issue: Because of the young age of many of the children that attend the schools on the campus, many parents are uncomfortable letting their children walk or bicycle to school alone. This, in turn, means that many students do not know proper walking and bicycling behaviors. Thornville Elementary Issue/Description 1.

18 SECTION 6: PUBLIC INPUT A public meeting to discuss the Thornville-Glenford STP was held on May 7, 2013 at Glenford Elementary. Key feedback from that meeting is outlined below; materials from the meeting are included in Appendix C. Public Input Process: Public Meeting Date: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 Target Audience: Parents, teachers, and Team Members Ohio s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan Template Key Input Received: The following input was received from Team Members and community members regarding the proposed countermeasures included in the Thornville-Glenford STP: The Village of Glenford has a grant to put a sidewalk along the south side of SR 204/High Street. Could you put a crosswalk to connect the north side (the side the school is on) to the sidewalk on the south side? What about adding flashing lights for this crosswalk as well? As long as the sidewalk is ADA compliant, this is a possibility. This has been added to the STP. The proposed drop off location for Thornville Elementary School is not a part of the village, you would need to get permission from the county (or whoever owns that land)? Part of this countermeasure would include getting permission to use this land or purchasing it from the county, if necessary. Interest in crossing guards for the community was raised. It is possible to hire crossing guards for your community, but it can become very expensive, even if you are paying them at minimum wage. Volunteers from church groups or retirees can be a good route to go. funds can be used to start the program, but cannot be used to sustain it. There are concerns about the kids walking through the parking lot and weaving in between cars to get to the front entrance of the school. In Glenford, only one side (the east side) of the driveway coming into the parking lot has a sidewalk. This sidewalk ends and forces kids to walk through the parking lot to get to the entrance. Would it be possible to add a sidewalk on the west side? The sidewalk on the east side of the school drive spans from SR 204/High Street to the school building with gaps around the curves for crosswalks across driveways. This is the best and most direct path for students to take and they shouldn t need to cut through the parking lot if they follow this sidewalk. 17

19 SECTION 7: FINAL PLAN ENDORSEMENT The endorsement for the Thornville-Glenford Safe Routes to School Travel Plan is below. Endorsement: Administrators and parents of students at Thornville and Glenford Elementary Schools are joining together to improve safety and encourage more students to walk and bicycle to school.
