About the Project

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) are leading this Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Action Plan process that will set the course to serve every school and school district in Orange County with SRTS improvements and activities.

The SRTS action plan will:

Support and expand current SRTS work underway by countywide stakeholders
Outline specific ways to improve traffic safety and support more walking and bicycling, such as prioritizing targeted infrastructure improvements, providing transportation safety education, creating enforcement partnerships, and implementing encouragement programs that will benefit families throughout the County.
Establish a countywide program structure that will support SRTS programs in school districts and at schools.
Define roles and next steps for ongoing and potential stakeholders.
Identify potential funding sources for specific action items.

The result will be a clear path forward to create and deepen Safe Routes to School efforts in Orange County.
