MCDOT Safe Routes to School Conducting Walkability Studies at 15 Schools

Montgomery County's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program has selected 15 schools for walkability studies in 2026, following 15 projects completed last year that included nearly two miles of new sidewalks near schools. MCDOT will attend back-to-school nights at the selected schools and is promoting a survey to gather safety concern feedback from parents and the community. The program also provides free pedestrian and bicycle safety education resources for schools and community groups.
