The lead contact for our Plan is: Name: Mayor Terry Stocker Affiliation: Phone Number: (330) Ext address: Mayor@Cityof.com Mailing address: 6 Elm St,, OH Ohio s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan Template Body Mass Index for Ohio s Third Grade Students A review of the Report on the Body Mass Index of Ohio s Third Graders, conducted by the Ohio Department of Health, found that childhood obesity is one of the most important public health issues in Ohio with more than 30 percent of children and adolescents classified as overweight or obese. In a study, it was reported that 38.2% of third grade students living in Mahoning County, where the City Schools are located, have a prevalence of being overweight or obese. A map showing the percentage of overweight and obese third graders by county can be found in Appendix A. Through physical activity, such as walking or biking to and from school, or educating youth about the importance of an active lifestyle, ODOT s Safe Routes to School Program hopes to foster awareness and prevention to combat this serious public health issue. 4
5 SECTION 2: OUR SRTS VISION Our SRTS Vision: It is the vision of the Safe Routes to School Planning Team members to identify and improve safe, walkable routes for all students by building on past accomplishments and ensuring the SRTS program is sustained in the future.

12 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. Elementary School Ohio s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan Template Issue/Description 1. Issue: Nearly two thirds of students (40%) live within one mile of the school and many parents are not comfortable letting their children walk this far (or farther) to get to school. This, in turn, means that many students do not know proper walking and bicycling behaviors. 2. Issue: Due to the severe winters in Northeast Ohio, parents do not feel children should walk or bicycle to school during the winter months. In addition there are concerns about sidewalks along walking and bicycling routes not being cleared, posing a safety hazard. 3. Issue: A number of parents don t want to let their children walk to school because of the amount of traffic along the routes they would take. 4. Issue: Parents are concerned about how safe it is for their children to walk along some of the routes to school because they feel some of the roadway crossings are unsafe. 5. Issue: A number of parents don t want to let their children walk to school because of the speeds of traffic along the routes they would take. Middle School Issue/Description 1. Issue: Due to the severe winters in Northeast Ohio, parents do not feel children should walk or bicycle to school during the winter months. In addition there are concerns about sidewalks along walking and bicycling routes not being cleared, posing a safety hazard. 2. Issue: More than three quarters of students (76%) live within one mile of the school and many parents are not comfortable letting their children walk this far (or farther) to get to school. This, in turn, means that many students do not know proper walking and bicycling behaviors. 3. Issue: A number of parents don t want to let their children walk to school because of the amount of traffic along the routes they would take. 4. Issue: A number of parents don t want to let their children walk to school because of the speeds of traffic along the routes they would take. 5. Issue: Parents are concerned about how safe it is for their children to walk along some of the routes to school because they feel some of the roadway crossings are unsafe. 12
13 SECTION 5: RECOMMENDED SRTS COUNTERMEASURES EDUCATION COUNTERMEASURES EDUCATION Issue Because children currently don t bike, they are unaware of safe walking and bicycling behaviors. Because children currently don t bike, they are unaware of proper biking behaviors. Parents don t want their children walking or biking to school unsupervised. Countermeasure Create a Safety City program to all incoming kindergarten students and consider offering the program at additional times that are more convenient to working families (for example, after work or over the weekend). Create a Bike Rodeo program. Consider incorporating it into the City s Safety Fair. Train parents and educators about starting a Walking School Bus program (through ODOT). Ohio s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan Template Because children currently don t bike, they are unaware of proper biking behaviors. Parents don t want their children walking or biking to school unsupervised. Utilize ODOT s Every Move You Make, Make It Safe campaign to educate students (and parents) about the proper ways to walk and bicycle to school, as well as the benefits of doing so. Host a SRTS Meeting to inform parents/ neighbors/etc. about the goals of the SRTS program. and long term strategies (those that your team will undertake beyond 12 months): 1. Incorporate pedestrian and bicycle education activities into the elementary school curriculum. 2. Continue to offer and promote Safety City and Bike Rodeo programs to students kindergarten for Safety Town, 2 nd and 3 rd grades for Bike Rodeo. 3. Re configure the middle school s Walk and Talk program to include walking to school during the fall and spring when the weather is moderate. ENCOURAGEMENT COUNTERMEASURES Issue Parents don t want their children walking or biking to school unsupervised. Parents don t want their children walking or biking to school unsupervised. ENCOURAGEMENT Countermeasure Start a Walking School Bus program. Participate in Walk and Bike to School Days. 13
14 Children live far from school, so walking or bicycling to school isn t as encouraged. ENCOURAGEMENT Develop mileage clubs which create competition between classes, grade levels, and/or schools based on how far they have walked or bicycled. and long term strategies: 1. Continue mileage club competitions and develop additional contests for students to participate in that offer prizes to students (such as new bike helmets). ENFORCEMENT COUNTERMEASURES ENFORCEMENT Issue Parents are concerned with speeding along the routes to school. Countermeasure Enforce School Zone speed limits at all schools. Consider adding speed cameras to enforce School Zone speed limits. Ohio s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan Template Lack of adult crossing guards. Lack of a student safety patrol program. There is significant congestion at drop off and pick up at the middle school, in part due to its landlocked location. Allocate funds collected from school zone speeding enforcement to fund additional adult crossing guards. Create a student safety patrol program working with AAA East Central. Research and create remote drop off locations for students at the middle school. and long term strategies: 1. Send crossing guard representative(s) to ODOT s Adult School Crossing Guard Training Program and expand the program. EVALUATION COUNTERMEASURES Issue Follow up on SRTS program effectiveness. EVALUATION Countermeasure Conduct Parent Surveys annually to track the program. Follow up on SRTS program effectiveness. Conduct Student Travel Tallies annually to see when encouragement techniques should be further employed. and long term strategies: 1. Conduct Student Travel Tallies seasonally (fall / winter / spring) to see when encouragement techniques should be further employed. 2. Review district and school busing policies to ensure they continue to encourage walking and bicycling to school. 14

24 STEP 6: PUBLIC INPUT A public meeting to discuss the STP was held on Wednesday, December 10 at City Hall, 6 Elm Street, in. Key feedback from that meeting is outlined below; materials from the meeting are included in Appendix C. Public Input Process: Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 Target Audience: Parents, teachers, staff, residents, planning team members Key Input Received: There was a question if anything in particular stood out to the team during the observance of school dismissals. It was answered that one area, the intersection in front of the middle school on 5 th at Wilson Street, was of some concern. The problem was a combination of congestion and students walking through the middle of the intersection. The signal needs to be brought up to standards. There was a question about the team s recommendation for updating the signal at 5 th and Wilson Street. The recommendation was to look at re doing the entire signal and providing pedestrian accommodations. There was a question about the possible use of speed cameras. It was explained that speed cameras are generally more accepted in school areas because their purpose is to slow people down for children. It helps to not ticket people on the first day, but rather let them ease into the new system and become aware that it is there. There was a question regarding the availability of grant money to pay for the speed camera and if the money generated from it could be filtered back into the schools. Although this question wasn t fully answered in the meeting, the consultant team offers that yes, there are grants available for this type of countermeasure, but not through the Safe Routes to School program. The City could designate the funds for school related enforcement but not to the schools directly. A number of questions and comments were made concerning the merging of students and traffic between the middle and high school on Garfield Avenue. The recommendation was to create higher visibility crosswalks in the area, as noted in the draft STP. A question was asked if the team recommended a crossing guard in this area. It was answered that if the community has strong concerns in certain areas where people are speeding, crossing guards should be considered. o A member of the school board explained that the issue with crossing guards is that they can t find anyone to fill the position. They are paid positions, ads have been posted, and they are needed desperately, but nobody wants to do it. o Police chief stated that, although nobody would like it, the
25 answer is stop signs. A question was asked if it would be possible to install 20 MPH school zone designation with blinking lights and/or speed cameras in this area. The real concern is if this area (near the stadium) is considered school frontage. It was explained that in order to get a 20 MPH school zone there, it would need to try to be worked out with ODOT. If not, it would still be possible to put flashers and signage to yield to pedestrians. A comment was made about potentially looking into speed bumps as well.
