Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a program created by the federal transportation bill, SAFETEA-LU. The program's goal is to increase the number of children in grades K-8 who bicycle and walk to school by increasing awareness, developing locally-driven and supported programs, improving bicycling and walking conditions near the qualifying schools and evaluating at the project and program levels. In addition to federal funding, local governments and non-profit and advocacy organizations support Safe Routes to School efforts.

• GDOT SRTS Program - A statewide SRTS Program is managed by GDOT. Non-infrastructure funding is geared towards locally-based outreach and education programs and is supported by the Georgia SRTS Resource Center. SRTS infrastructure funding is available on a competitive application basis.
• The Safe Routes to School National Partnership is a network of hundreds of organizations, government agencies and professional groups working to set goals, share best practices, secure funding and provide educational materials to agencies that implement SRTS programs. Georgia is one of the 20 states participating in the SRTS National Partnership Network Project.
