Welcome to Safe Routes to School

The Safe Routes to School San Francisco program is funded by a grant from the Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) for the 2011 to 2013 school years. It is led by the San Francisco (SF) Department of Public Health and supported by the SF Bicycle Coalition, SF Unified School District, SF Municipal Transportation Agency, SF Police Department, Presidio YMCA, SF Department of the Environment, and Walk San Francisco.
