Safe Routes to School

The Lawrence Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative began in 2014 as a collaborative effort between the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Lawrence Public Schools, the City of Lawrence, and the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). This partnership provided the framework for developing a holistic SRTS program, which focuses on encouragement, education, enforcement, evaluation, and engineering solutions to improve walking & bicycling to school.

During the 2025-2026 School year, a Lawrence Safe Routes to School Plan Update is underway.
