Safe Routes to School: Supporting Back to School Travel with Equity and Empathy

Learn best practices for supporting back-to-school travel as students return to campus full-time.

Join Safe Routes to School and PublicHealth, San Mateo County Health Policy and Planning, and Transportation Consultant Mark Fenton for a discussion on the intersection of student travel, COVID-19 recovery, economic development, and community revitalization. Participants will hear from local and national campaigns that reduce traffic congestion and support active transportation. City public works, traffic engineers, and planners are encouraged to attend.

Topics will include:

  • Lessons learned from the pandemic

  • Economic vibrancy and the reallocation of public space on streets and roadways

  • Opportunities to support safe student travel as they walk, roll and use transit
