4 SECTION 2: OUR SRTS VISION Our SRTS Vision: Successful SRTS programs benefit from the school and community working together toward a common vision. Vision statements can be a single statement, a list of goals or a short paragraph. There is no correct or incorrect vision statement. In 100 words or less, explain your team s vision for your SRTS program in the space below. The vision of the North Union SRTS program is to teach children walking and biking techniques that also meet the vision of the school district for students to have R.A.R.E. characteristics (be respectful of others, believe in themselves, be accountable for their actions, and strive to do their best). Additionally, they wish to improve the routes for students to walk and bicycle to school. 3
5 SECTION 3: CURRENT STUDENT TRAVEL NORTH UNION ELEMENTARY 3A. How many students live within walking and bicycling distance of school?

Are there any school or district policies that impact students walking or bicycling to school? District Bus Policies Policy: The district provides bussing for all students, regardless of where they live. How it affects student travel modes (3-5 sentences): Students are provided a means of transportation to/from school, so finding alternate means (such as walking and bicycling) are not necessary. N/A
6 School Travel Policies Policy: While there is no written policy against it, the school discourages walking and bicycling to school as there are no safe paths for students to take. How it affects student travel modes (3-5 sentences): Students who do not ride the bus must be driven in a personal vehicle. 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? Yes, all vehicles use the same driveway. No, there are separate driveways for family vehicles and school buses. Do all students use the same entrance to the school building in the morning? Yes, all students enter the building at the same location. No, students can use different entrances. Students who ride the bus enter through the front doors while students who are dropped off by a parent enter through the side doors off the drop-off loop. Are all students released at the same time during dismissal? Yes, all students are released at the same time. No, we use a staggered release process (walkers are released first, bus riders second, etc.). Is school staff involved in either arrival or dismissal? Yes, we have school staff help students enter and exit the campus safely. No, school staff is not involved in either arrival or dismissal. Teachers monitor the bus pick-up and parent pick-up; the principal oversees the dismissal process. Are there any adult crossing guards located along student walking routes? Yes, we have at least one adult crossing guard that helps students on their walking routes. No, we do not have any adult crossing guards serving our school. Are there police officers that help with arrival or dismissal procedures at this school? Yes, we have at least one police officer helping direct traffic around our school. No we do not have police officers who help direct traffic around the school. One officer is present at the school site for arrival and dismissal (if available) to monitor traffic flow and speeding in the area. Are students involved in any arrival or dismissal process (i.e. student safety patrol)? Yes, we have a student safety patrol. No, we do not have a student safety patrol. 5
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 (76%) Amount of Traffic Along Route (54%) Speed of Traffic Along Route (54%) Weather or Climate (48%) Sidewalks or Pathways (42%) Safety of Intersections and Crossings (42%) 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. 6 Many parents commented about the lack of sidewalks along their child s route to school, especially leading to the school itself. Distance is another concern as many families live far from the school. Some parents were also concerned with letting their child walk due to their age and the lack of supervision. A number of parents indicated that if they lived closer to the school and if there were sidewalks along their routes to school, that they would let their child walk or bike to school. Relevant traffic crashes. There were 0 crashes within 2 miles of the school (from ). 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 Walk to School Day Stranger Danger education How it encourages walking or bicycling (1-3 sentences) The school holds a Walk to School Day twice a year (in October and May) where students who participate are dropped off by their bus at the Municipal Building and walk as a group to the school. Once a year, a presentation on stranger danger is given to the whole school so students are aware of what to do if they are approached by a stranger.

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. Most parents indicated that they live too far from the school for their child to walk to school. A number of parents were also concerned with the lack of sidewalks along their child s route to school. Parents are also concerned with letting their child walk to school alone because they can be too impulsive and also due to the concern of drug activity and sex offenders in the area. Relevant traffic crashes. There were 0 crashes within 2 miles of the school (from ). 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 Walk to School Day Walking Club How it encourages walking or bicycling (1-3 sentences) The school holds a Walk to School Day twice a year (in October and May) where students who participate are dropped off by their bus at the Municipal Building and walk as a group to the school.

29 Safe Routes to School North Union Elementary and Middle Schools What is Safe Routes to School? The Ohio Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and administered by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The program supports projects and programs that enable and encourage walking and bicycling to and from school. A School Travel Plan (STP) is the written document that outlines a community s intentions for enabling students to engage in active transportation (i.e. walking or bicycling) as they travel to and from school. It is a requirement for funding requests made through the ODOT SRTS program. The STP identifies barriers to active transportation and recommends solutions to address them using the five Es: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement, and Evaluation. School Travel Plan Development Development of the STP began with the creation of the local SRTS Planning Team. The local team includes representatives from the Village of Richwood, the North Union Local School District, North Union Elementary and Middle Schools, the Union County Health Department, and members of the community. Together, the local SRTS team and the ODOT consultant evaluated the existing walking and bicycling conditions throughout the village through parent surveys, student travel tallies, walk audits, and meetings with the local SRTS team. All of this information was used to come up with the recommended infrastructure and non-infrastructure countermeasures. Priority Corridors Priority corridors are routes where a significant number of students are currently walking and biking, or where they could potentially walk and bike. The priority corridors were identified by looking at student locations, the presence of sidewalks, and the presence of crossing locations within one mile of each school. Next Steps Public comments will be incorporated into the STP before it is finalized. The final plan will include a list of non-infrastructure countermeasures with a recommended timeline for implementation; it will also include a list of infrastructure countermeasures with recommended prioritizations as to what should be implemented first. The plan will be complete once members of the team endorse it, showing their commitment to Safe Routes and their support of the recommended countermeasures.
30 SRTS Countermeasures Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures Non-infrastructure countermeasures include all of the education, encouragement, and enforcement activities intended to affect student or driver behavior, as well as evaluation activities that monitor the impacts of the SRTS program once implemented. Education programs target children, parents, caregivers, and neighbors, teaching them how to walk and bicycle safely and informing drivers on how to drive more safely around pedestrians and bicyclists. Education programs can also incorporate personal security issues, as well as health and environment messages. Examples of education programs are Safety Town programs, bike rodeos, and hosting SRTS meetings. Encouragement activities promote walking and bicycling to school to children, parents and community members. Events such as Walk to School Day, contests such as a Frequent Walker/ Bicyclist challenge, or on-going programs such as a Walking School Bus or Bicycle Train can promote and encourage walking and bicycling as a popular way to get to school. Enforcement strategies increase the safety of children bicycling and walking to school by helping to change unsafe behaviors of drivers, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists. A community approach to enforcement involves students, parents or caregivers, school personnel, crossing guards and law enforcement officers. Examples of enforcement strategies are enforcing school zone speed limits and having an adult school crossing guard program. Evaluation is an important component of SRTS programs that can be incorporated into each of the other Es. Collecting information before and after program activities or projects are implemented allow communities to track progress and outcomes, and provide information to guide program development. Continuing to conduct the parent surveys and student travel tallies are evaluation techniques. Infrastructure Countermeasures Infrastructure projects, or engineering projects, include operational and physical improvements that establish safer and fully accessible pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. All infrastructure projects must improve conditions for students walking or bicycling within two miles of the target school. These improvements focus on reducing motor vehicle speeds and conflicts with pedestrians and bicyclists, and establishing safer and fully accessible crossings, walkways, trails, and bikeways. Bicycle racks should be placed in a safe, visible location at each school in order to promote and accommodate children who wish to ride bikes to and from school. Sidewalks are one of the most effective countermeasures that increase safety for pedestrians; however, they can be costly to build. An ideal sidewalk includes a grassy, tree-lined buffer between the sidewalk and the street and a minimum width of 5 feet for optimal pedestrian comfort. Crosswalks with signage should be used to identify all street crossings. Ladder-style crosswalk markings should be used for better visibility and OMUTCD-compliant signage should be installed to identify the crossing location. Remote drop-off/pick-up locations can decrease vehicular traffic at the school, making it safer for students to walk and bike around the school. These also provide a location where students who live farther away can be dropped off and still walk to school.
