Safe Routes to School Public Input Closes This Friday, Dec. 17

The Billings Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is kicking off a Safe Routes to School Plan Update to identify ways to improve walking, biking, and rolling conditions for elementary school students in Billings. 

This study has four major tasks:

1. Evaluate current walking, biking, and rolling conditions for students in the region
2. Identify barriers or issues that might discourage students from walking, biking, and rolling
3. Develop a list of prioritized projects that can be built to improve walking, biking, and rolling conditions for students
4. Create walking route maps for all 22 public elementary schools in Billings

Community members, we need you! Your experience and knowledge can take this plan from good to great.

Give us input on the project webmap. Head to tinyurl.com/BillingsSRTS-plan  to let us know where you currently walk, where you think there are issues, and what you would need to walk or bike to school more. The webmap is open through this Friday, December 17.
