Intent on providing alternatives to families who will be affected by the elimination of bus transportation, the New Haven Unified School District has partnered with the Alameda County “Safe Routes to School” Program to promote safe walking and biking to school and to minimize traffic congestion in school neighborhoods.

Safe Routes to School (SR2S) is an international movement dedicated to increasing the safety and number of children walking and bicycling to school. SR2S’s Alameda County partnership provides training sessions, resources and customized support at no cost while working with schools, parents and the local community to give children an active, healthy start to the school day, reduce traffic congestion and improve environmental health.
