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