23 Schools Achieve Green Status
Marin Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) has introduced a new evaluation tool to let each
of our schools know how they are doing in increasing the number of green trips to
school (walk, bike, carpool or bus). The new Report Card evaluates each school based
on the percentage of green trips from our student surveys, plus extra credit is given for
their level of involvement in the program. This allows each school to strive to achieve a
Green status or higher through regular walk to school days, promoting SchoolPool and
other encouragement techniques. Those schools that offer dedicated bus service are
rated at a higher scale than schools that do not have that service.
