Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are an opportunity to make walking and bicycling to school safer for children in grades K-12, and to increase the number of children who choose to walk and bicycle. On a broader level, SRTS programs can enhance children’s health and well-being, ease traffic congestion near the school, and improve community members’ overall quality of life.
Planning Process and Schedule
In 2024, the D.C. Everest Area School District won a WisDOT SRTS planning grant to create a SRTS Plan for each public school in the District. The Weston Elementary SRTS Plan was created in 2024. The D.C. Everest Junior High SRTS Plan was created in 2009.
Fall 2025 – D.C. Everest Area School District to perform transportation surveys (e.g., Student Tallies & Parent Surveys).
Spring 2026 – The D.C. Everest Area School District and local governments that the District operates in to begin SRTS Planning with the assistance of the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC). The NCWRPC is guiding the D.C. Everest SRTS Task Force through the planning process.
Spring & Summer 2026 – Data collection to occur. Further analysis with the SRTS Task Force will occur throughout the 2025-2026 school year.
Plan development to occur in 2026.
Plan review and revision will occur throughout the 2026-2027 school year.
Plan adoption is anticipated in summer/fall 2027.
Implementation of the D.C. Everest SRTS Plan can begin anytime after adoption, and throughout many years later.
