Description
The Nevada Safe Routes to School Program is an initiative of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) aimed at creating safer, healthier, and more attractive environments for school-age children (grades K-8) to walk or bicycle to school. The program integrates educational outreach, safety enhancements, and infrastructure improvements—such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and signage—while promoting collaborations with local law enforcement, schools, and community partners. The goal is to reduce roadway congestion, improve air quality, and boost student health by encouraging active transportation to and from schools.
