Safe Routes to School Plan
The City of Madison along with the Wisconsin Bike Fed and the Madison Metropolitan School District are working on a citywide Safe Routes to School Plan. Funding for this project is through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program with additional funding from the US DOT’s Safe Streets and Roads for All Program.
Please complete our short survey to help us develop a plan to improve rolling, strolling, and biking to and from school. Your feedback will be used to create a plan for making these activities easy, safe, and convenient. Thank you for participating in our live survey!
