Traveling to School

Students across Maryland travel to and from school in many different ways. Everyone plays a role in making sure they arrive safely. MCSS works with local communities, schools, and the Maryland Department of Transportation to provide information in support of this effort. 

Resources & Support

The following resources are intended to supplement information in support of a comprehensive approach to school safety.

Safe Routes to School

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are federally-funded, sustained efforts by community members and governments to enable and encourage children to safely walk, roll, or bicycle to school. Federal funds allocated to this program are reimbursable and available for infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects that benefit elementary and middle school children in grades K-8.
