The Douglas County Safe Routes to School Action Plan draft is now available for public review and comment.
View Safe Routes to School Plan
The purpose of the plan is to identify transportation projects to help improve the safety of children walking and biking to school. The development of this plan involved extensive research and interaction with the community to better understand the needs and concerns around each school campus. This work included in-person and virtual public meetings, visiting each school to document current conditions, and meeting with school principals and staff. As part of the planning process, we are asking parents, teachers, students, and other interested residents to provide feedback on the proposed recommendations.
