The New Jersey Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program, supported by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, partners with schools and communities to create safer, healthier, and more equitable opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, and use other wheeled modes of transportation.

Members from our high school Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) organization and Civic Leadership students recently joined forces with members of the MARSD Board of Education Members, Central Office Administration, MRHS PTO and local and county officials to conduct a Safe Routes to School Walk and Bike Audit.

During the audit, the committee gathered valuable informtion about pedestrian and bicycle safety, accessibility, traffic patters, and areas for improvement within our community. The data collected will be shared with our community partners to help identify opportunities and pursue funding for improvements that can make our streets and routes to school safer for everyone.
