The Safe Routes to School Program is a nationwide and Alameda County Transportation Commission initiative designed to make bicycling and walking to school a safer, more appealing and healthier alternative for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The City of San Leandro’s Safe Routes to School Program will encourage children to embark on a healthier lifestyle by providing increased safety education, enforcement and infrastructure improvements that will help keep children safer when walking or biking to school.

This program is made possible through a federally funded Safe Routes to School grant and Alameda County’s Measure B program.  To learn more about the Safe Routes to School Program, contact Reh-Lin Chen, Engineering and Transportation Department at 510- 577-3438 or RChen@sanleandro.org.
