The E's <br />The ODOT Safe Routs to School Program is built upon "E's" that provide a comprehensive approach to youth <br />traveling to school. The E's are: <br />O Engineering: <br />Bringing engineering experts to assist the community in evaluating streets and <br />identifying improvements for walking and biking to school. <br />Education: <br />� Improving traffic safety and awareness. Teach students how to navigate busy streets <br />and make the connection between active transportation, traffic safety, health, and <br />the environment. <br />O Encouragement: <br />' Providing incentives and support to help students and families try walking or bicycling <br />instead of driving. <br />® <br />Enforcement: <br />student or driver behavior through consequences. <br />Evaluation: <br />Helping schools measure walking and bicycling through parent surveys and student <br />hand-raisingtalliesto indicate how students get to school and what barriers should <br />be addressed. <br />Equity: <br />Tailoring the STP development process and implementation to meet the specific <br />cultural, linguistic, and contextual needs of the diverse populations within a <br />community including students with disabilities, students of different races, and <br />students in low-income households. <br />The North Olmsted STP is built upon a holistic approach that applies each of these "E's" to the recommendations <br />provided in this plan. By implementing both infrastructure and non -infrastructure -based improvements and <br />practices, North Olmsted will be able to encourage safe walking and biking to school. <br />
