Re: Safe Routes to School Workshop Assistance
Dear Ms. Campean:
Thank your for reviewing this proposal from Ryan Snyder Associates (RSA) to facilitate
your Safe Routes to School workshops.
Safe Routes to School Workshops. RSA will conduct Safe Routes to School workshops
for five schools. The workshops will serve five schools, will take one-half day each,
and will include training as developed in a National Safe Routes to School program on
the following items:
• Physical improvements to the routes approaching the school
• Ongoing promotional programs
• Enforcement of traffic laws
• Pick up and drop off issues
• Safety education
• Evaluation
• What has been successful in other cities
• Implementation process
It will be important to include representatives of the following groups:
•Students
•School administrators (superintendents, principals, board members, facility
planners)
•Interested teachers
•Parents
*Crossing guards

o Nearby neighborhood associations
-Local bicycle, pedestrian, health or environmental groups
RSA will give a presentation on Safe Routes to School and gather information from
attendees as to what the issues and priorities are, including locations that need
improvements. We will conduct a mapping exercise to determine walking routes and
safety issues along those routes. We will also develop a draft plan for Education,
Encouragement, Enforcement and Evaluation at the schools.
Responsibilities of the City or School District
a The City or School District will be responsible to contact and invite people to
,the workshops.
o The City or School District take care of room arrangements and English-
Spanish translation.
• The City or School District will provide large-scale maps for the workshops.
Cost: $1,500 per school, or $7,500 for five schools.
Sincerely,
