Safe Routes Academy Workshop Application
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT), and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota’s Center for Prevention (Blue Cross) provide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Workshops to interested communities on an ongoing basis. The workshop is taught by a combination of SRTS practitioners from MDH, MnDOT, and Blue Cross and provide a customized approach to advancing SRTS in your community.
Safe Routes to School Workshop
At a SRTS Workshop, local, county and regional staff, along with advocates, learn how to plan and support SRTS efforts to create a state where all students can walk and bicycle on routes that are safe, comfortable, and convenient. Participants will designate which training module will be most applicable to their community’s SRTS goals. The workshops will use the host community as the class room to support learning from and with practitioners from across the region.
Target audiences include engineers, law enforcement, planners, public health practitioners, school administrators, elected officials, students, parents and advocates.
