The Safe Routes to School Program helps to provide travel plans and infrastructure improvements to schools to help make it safer for students to bike or walk to school.

Maximizing the number of students biking and walking to school is a cost-effective strategy for managing peak hour traffic congestion and improving public health.

The 2024 School Travel Plans (STP) for Casorso and North Glenmore are now complete. Follow-up documents are available on the RDCO website.

By promoting active transportation like walking and cycling, these schools have made a significant environmental impact:

Casorso: Estimated 3.8 tonnes of GHG emissions saved.

North Glenmore: Estimated 3.9 tonnes of GHG emissions saved.
