Box 151560 San Rafael, CA 94915-1560 415 485-3355 With Nelson\Nygaard and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition CONTRA COSTA COUNTY , _DEVELOPMENT AGENCY July 6, 2001 Page ii • NelsonlNygaard Consulting Associates Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Project Overview On behalf of all of the cities and unincorporated areas of Marin County, the City of San Rafael is pleased to join with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition to propose a countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program for the elementary and middle schools of Marin. The intent of this Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program is to capitalize on the existing work being conducted by a variety of organizations in the county and pull them together into an integrated, strategic approach. Project Organizers Citv of San Rafael The City of San Rafael is the project sponsor, will serve as fiscal agent and will be responsible for all interactions between the project and its funders and the public agencies that seek its services. Nelson\Nvgaard Consultinq Associates Nelson\Nygaard will act as an oversight body to ensure that public funds are being spent wisely and appropriately, with proper accounting. In addition, NN will act as intermediary between the city and implementers, ensuring good communication and accountability. Safe Routes to Schools/Marin Countv Bicvcle Coalition The bulk of the work of the project will be conducted by members of the local Safe Routes to Schools program organization. Safe Routes to Schools was established in August 2000 as a project of Multi -Mobile and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, and has now been consolidated into the Bicycle Coalition. At that time, Marin County was chosen as the National Suburban Model for Safe Routes to Schools by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nine pilot schools were selected in the school year 2000-2001. In May 2001, the Marin Congestion Management Agency designated 30% of its Transportation Enhancements funding towards a two-year County -wide Safe Routes to Schools Program. Needs Our Proposal Will Address Safe Routes to Schools addresses traffic problems, environmental degradation due to overuse of the automobile, personal health, and the livability of our communities. In Marin County, traffic counts and surveys have determined that 21% of cars on the road during the morning commute are parents driving their children to school. (Source: Marin County Congestion Management Agency.) Thirty years ago, 2/3 of all children in America walked or biked to school. (Source: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) Fall 2000 traffic counts and student surveys at nine Marin County schools show that (in good weather) 80% of the students arrive at school by car. In addition, 12% walk, 5% bike, and 3% take the bus. (Source: Marin Safe Routes to Schools program; fall 2000 surveys). Auto emissions are the largest cause of air pollution in California. (Source: The California 2000 Project.) In addition, a lack of physical activity and poor diets are known risk factors for the three leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer and stroke, as well as diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. (Source: California Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Coalition.) Program Purpose Safe Routes to Schools is a grassroots program that is getting more children walking and bicycling to school by combining education, community organizing, and engineering improvements. The program results in decreased traffic congestion, a cleaner environment, and improved health for individuals. The Safe Routes to Schools program at each school is organized through agreements with Schools Districts and the Towns in which the schools are located_ By working within the institutional system, Safe Routes to Schools is able to effect real changes that benefit individuals and communities. The trend to drive children to schools has adversely impacted communities and the environment throughout the United States; the demonstration program in Marin County is now esteemed as having the promise to create a program that will change the habits of an entire generation of school children in the USA. Our first year program served nine schools in four communities throughout Marin. We now seek to offer Safe Routes to Schools to all elementary and middle schools in Marin County over the Page 1 • City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION next two years. The intention is for Safe Routes to Schools to become an ongoing sustainable program, supported and tailored to each communities' needs. How The Program Addresses The Needs Statement The Safe Routes to Schools program works by developing "Teams" for each school. These Teams seek to include parents, teachers, students, members of the school administration, town associates, local law enforcement, and neighbors. Through a collaborative approach the program brings forth a new standard for school transportation that emphasizes safety and encouragement for walking and bicycling. The Teams have two overall tasks: outreach and mapping. The Team organizes Walk and Bike to School Days, special events, contests, and regular "School Pools" for walking and biking with parent escorts. Through the mapping exercise, they examine the roads and paths that children take to school and consult with our programs' certified engineer to develop proposals for engineering improvements that can be done on a short term basis (painting crosswalks, retiming lights, signage, etc.) and long term basis (applying for grants and budgeting for sidewalks, bike lanes, multi -use paths, and traffic calming) to make the routes physically safer for children_ Throughout the mapping process, Safe Routes to Schools works in a collaborative manner with the local public works department and city council so that the town will embrace the solutions and apply for funding from capital grant sources to make the physical improvements that promote pedestrian and bicycle safety. The Safe Routes to Schools program holds regular regional meetings with representatives from each Team and other interested parents and neighbors. We supply them with traffic survey forms, "walkability" check lists, contest materials, event flyers, facts and statistics for writing school newsletter articles, and other organizing tools including a Safe Routes Manual so that the Teams take local ownership for their programs. Safe Routes to Schools also offers in -classroom curriculum on how to walk and bicycle safely through a "Safetyville" obstacle course, videos, and assemblies on bicycle and pedestrian safety including a "game show - style" exercise based on the TV Show Jeopardy. Other educational programs offered to the schools include environmental education, mapping, and an overall understanding of how our transportation choices affect our communities. We conduct these activities by recruiting volunteers to assist in the classroom work. Organization's Qualifications Nelson\Nvgaard Consultinq Associates Based in San Francisco, Nelson\Nygaard has over 15 years experience in developing, managing and implementing some of the most innovative transportation programs in the U.S. Locally, NN has recently completed shuttle, bicycle and pedestrian plans for the City of San Rafael and is currently assisting the County with the Countywide Transportation Expenditure Plan and the National Park Service with a Strategic Transportation Plan for the Marin Headlands and Fort Baker. Bonnie Nelson and Jeffrey Tumlin will lead NN's efforts; resumes for both are attached. Marin Countv Bicvcle Coalition and Safe Routes to Schools For the past year, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition has been leading Marin's Safe Routes to Schools program and the USA's National Demonstration Program. The popularity of the program at the local level and initial traffic counts show that Safe Routes to Schools is already making a big difference. The program is led by Wendi Kallins, Debbie Hubsmith, and Christina Davis (a certified teacher). Both are now among the recognized leaders in Safe Routes to Schools programs in the United States and are responsible for reporting on North American efforts at the International Velo-City Conference in Edinburgh. Foundation's Goals The Safe Routes to Schools program addresses many aspects of Marin Community Foundation's mission and funding priorities. The program results in the creation of a beneficial infrastructure that encourages walking and bicycling, and education that teaches safety skills for these transportation modes_ Our approach nurtures neighborhood planning, community organizing and leadership development. Overall, the Safe Routes to Page 2 • City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Schools program stimulates environmental awareness and action by organizing communities to develop school transportation programs that encourage safe walking and bicycling to school. Page 3 • City of San Rafael with NelsonlNygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION PROPOSAL QUESTIONS Submitted to the Marin Community Foundation "Safe Routes to Schools," A Proposal by the City of San Rafael Contact: David Bernardi, Public Works Director, City Of San Rafael, (415) 485-3355 1A. Specifically, what do you wish to accomplish? Safe Routes to Schools is designed to accomplish an exponential increase in the number of children in Marin County who walk and bicycle to school. The program nurtures parent leadership within schools that results in the development of community-based solutions to transportation challenges. Safe Routes to Schools is implemented so that the creation and construction of safe, non -motorized transportation routes for children become a part of the institutional system for both school and town travel plans and processes. Over the next two years, the City of San Rafael along with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition will offer the Safe Routes to Schools program to every town in Marin County. The program is designed for elementary and middle schools, and results in the creation of a physical and cultural environment where walking and bicycling is safe, "cool', and encouraged. The program also develops a more "livable" community where people "share the road" and "drive friendly," and where children have the skills and knowledge to transport themselves safely. 1 B. What are the specific outcomes or impacts of the proposed project? Through the Safe Routes to Schools program we specifically seek to accomplish: less traffic congestion, improved non -motorized transportation infrastructure on routes to schools, more walking and bicycling to schools, traffic safety skills knowledge for children, and healthier communities and individuals as a result of more walking and bicycling (and a decrease in use of the automobile). In preliminary students surveys taken in May 2001 there was a marked decrease in single occupant automobiles and an increase in children walking and biking (see attached survey results). Through being declared one of two National Model Programs for Safe Routes to Schools in the USA, the Marin program is creating a "Tool Kit" that will be used at the federal level for designing a new national initiative to get more children walking and bicycling to school. In each local community, Safe Routes to Schools empowers and provides a rallying focus by creating a forum for parents and neighbors to advocate for and organize safer streets and community-based transportation choices that benefit the environment and local health. In a nutshell, Safe Routes to Schools is seeking an outcome that will "change the lifestyle habits of an entire generation of children." By starting at an early age, children develop the skills, understanding, and connection between how their transportation habits impact the local community and the global environment. 2A. Clearly state measurable outcomes for the project. • Increase the number of children walking and bicycling to school. Page 4 - City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION ■ Increase community participation in transportation solutions and develop a broad base of community support. ■ Decrease the number of private motor vehicle trips to school. ■ Identify and work to provide a "safe route to school" for every child living within one mile of their school. ■ Increase the safety of school children through bicycle and pedestrian traffic safety education programs; and through proposals for the redesign of streets, trails and crossings. 2B. How do you propose to achieve the outcomes in terns of specific activities, including a timetable (proposed starting date and duration of project)? What follows is a brief timeline for the Safe Routes to Schools program for the 2001-2001 School Year, followed by a more detailed explanation: July -Aug 2001: Select schools and get agreements from school districts and towns. Identify site coordinators ("Team Leaders") for each school. Develop school committees now that will be "ready to go" at the start of the school year. August 2001: Send -home materials about Safe Routes to Schools in the "Welcome to School Packet" and announce the first meeting of the Safe Routes to Schools "Team" which will focus on organizing "Walk and Bike to School Day." September 2001: Regroup Safe Routes Teams and plan International Walk and Bike to School Day for October 2, 2001. At new participating schools, hold assemblies to introduce Safe Routes to Schools to the student body, and encourage art departments to work with students to develop "Safe Routes Signs" for the upcoming "Walk and Bike to School Day." Sept/Oct 2001: Take baseline traffic counts and attitude surveys. Oct. — Dec. 2001: Hold International Walk and Bike to School Day. Identify safe routes and safety hazards through mapping. Continue monthly Walk and Bike to School Days. Optional classroom contests. Safety Skills Training in P.E. Classes (and testing). Jan/March 2002: Continue outreach and regular Walk and Bike Days. In -class presentations on health. Page 5 • City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools y Count wide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Develop Safe Routes engineering proposals. Present engineering proposals to towns and suggest capital grants for walking and biking routes to schools. April — May 2002 Increase Walk and Bike to School Days to be weekly events. Initiate the "Frequent Rider Miles" Contest where children track how they arrive at school and win prizes for "pollution free" miles. In -class presentations on the environment. Continued Safety training. Retake traffic count surveys in May or June. June 2002: Acknowledge successes for the year at each school. Finalize program "Teams" and agreements for next year program. Organizational Overview The Safe Routes to Schools program follows the school year, beginning in September and lasting through June. Organizing for the "launch" of the program in the fall, however, begins in the spring with the identification of schools and towns that would like to participate in the program. In order to participate, there must be an agreement with the School which designates a committee of the School to manage the program (usually through the PTA or the School Site Committee), and the School must agree to allow for classroom time (usually through the physical education program) to teach bicycle and pedestrian safety programs, hold assemblies, and do environmental education. In addition to agreements with the schools, towns are asked to pass a resolution endorsing the goals of the program, with the understanding that resources from the town (local law enforcement, planning staff, and public works personnel) will be called on to implement the Safe Routes plans. Participating towns understand that walking and bicycling to school will be encouraged, and that the "Teams" will be developing short-term and long-term engineering proposals that will need to be implemented though town processes. First year programs focus on mapping the routes and initiating Walk and Bike to School Days and contests. Second and third year programs begin to realize the fruits of their work with structural improvements and institutionalize a culture of walking and biking in the schools by building on past years successes. Proiect Team A large part of the success of the Marin Safe Routes to Schools program is attributed to our professional and skilled Project Team which includes the following job descriptions and continued personnel from this year: Project Managment: Interfaces with the City of San Rafael, provides project management, assists in development of project materials and evaluation procedures (Staffed by Jeffrey Tumlin, Principal, Nelson/Nygaard) Page 6 • City of San Rafael with NelsonlNygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Project Coordination: (2/5 time)- Oversees the day to day operations of the project, promotes the project on a regional, state and national level, promotes the project to the media, fundraising, and represents the program at National and International conferences.

Page 7 • City of San Rafael with NelsonlNygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Safe Routes to Schools Teams Each participating school designates a Safe Routes to Schools Team either as a school-based committee or a PTA committee. This Team: • Gathers information using traffic counts, parent and student surveys and speed checks (often with the assistance of students). ■ Develops a Safe Routes map of the suggested routes to school and identify problem areas along those routes. They will work with the local jurisdictions in developing possible solutions to the problem areas. • Organizes special events and contests such as Walk and Bike to School Days. ■ Organizes "School Pools" of walking school buses and bike trains. The Safe Routes to Schools program offers participating schools: • A Safe Routes to Schools Manual with templates and forms. ■ Assistance with start-up. ■ Introductory Slide Presentation. ■ Engineering Toolbox Slide Presentation. ■ Newsletters. • Promotional Materials. ■ Ongoing Consulting. ■ Training Materials for Team Leaders. The Program also provides the following resources: • Maintenance of a web site. ■ Encouragement and forums for networking amongst the programs throughout the County. ■ Public relations and media coverage for the overall program. ■ Acknowledgement and notoriety of being a National Model for Safe Routes to Schools. 3A. Include the quantitative and qualitative evaluation indicators you will use to measure the progress and impact of the project. At the beginning of the school year we conduct three forms of surveys to do a quantitative evaluation of the change in transportation habits. These surveys include: 1) On-site traffic counts of the Page 8 . City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MARIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION number of students arriving on foot, by bike, in a bus, and in cars; 2) student "how did you get to school today" surveys of the various transportation modes; and 3) parent surveys including questions measuring concerns and conditions under which they would they allow their children to walk or bike. In May we repeat the traffic counts and student surveys to measure the decrease in traffic and the increase in the number of children walking, biking, carpooling or taking the bus where available. At the start of the Safety Education Training, we give children an assessment to test their traffic safety knowledge. At the end of the safety training, we re -administer a test to gauge what students have learned. We then can then measure their increased knowledge of safety rules. We also measure the number of planned and implemented engineering improvements to the streets as a result of the program. Physical engineering changes take time, so it is important for Safe Routes maps to identify short-term and long-term goals. In a qualitative manner, we measure the amount of publicity generated in the print newspapers and school newsletters, as well as the enthusiasm and growth of the program at the local level. (For example, while we started this year with nine pilot schools in four communities throughout Marin, elements of the program have now spread to over a half dozen additional schools which have started using our techniques and materials.) In addition to growing support in school communities, there has been vast support for the program through articles and free advertisements in local papers. We're working to make Safe Routes to Schools a household phrase and habit. 313. Who will assess the results? The results of the Safe Routes to Schools program are assessed in several ways: ■ The Safe Routes to Schools organizers (Nelson/Nygaard and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition) assess the results of the program, its affect on the community, and overall enthusiasm and interest in Safe Routes to Schools. ■ Each "Team" for Safe Routes to Schools provides a year-end assessment of the program, including what was accomplished, and what could be done better next year. ■ The funders of the Safe Routes to Schools program are provided with reports and statistics to permit for their own evaluation of the program. ■ The federal government and Congressional leaders will continue to evaluate and measure the success of the Marin Model program as we lay the ground work for the future national initiative for Safe Routes to Schools. ■ Marin's National Model pilot program is in the spotlight and is being evaluated through the media and through national and international forums such as the recent "National Bicycle Summit," "ProBike ProWalk", and the upcoming "Veto -City" (World Bicycling Conference) being held in Scotland in September of 2001. 4. Indicate populations to be served by this project, including numbers, geographic location, age groups, genders, an racial/ethnic group composition. Page 9 • City of San Rafael with Nelson\Nygaard and Marin Safe Routes to Schools Countywide Safe Routes to Schools Program MAR"N COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT APPLICATION Marin county has 45 public elementary schools with 13,500 students and 10 Middle schools serving a population of 6500 students. There are also about 50 private schools, some of which have joined or asked to be part of the program. We currently are serving 9 current schools or have requests from the following schools or from public jurisdictions where the schools are located: Mill Valley Upper Ross Valley current Requested Tam Valley School Bacich School Edna Magure School Kent Middle School Mill Valley Middle School Neil Cummins School Marin Horizon (private) Hall Middle School Requested St_ Patricks School (private) Park School North San Rafael Old Mill School Current Strawberry Point School Vallecito School Mt.

Marin's public schools are 74.1 % Caucasian, 14.5% Hispanic, 5.5% Asian, 3.8% African American, .6% pacific Islander, .2% Filipino, and .4% Native American. In addition to directly serving students and their parents, the Marin Safe Routes to Schools program also benefits all of Marin County, as well as its residents and visitors. Our program benefits the whole community through: reducing traffic congestion, developing traffic calming, installing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, encouraging healthy lifestyles, instituting "drive friendly" and "share the road" concepts, and improving the environment. With an average of 21 % of morning traffic in Marin caused by parents driving their kids to schools, our communities overall have a lot to gain by increasing safe walking and bicycling by students. We all notice the difference in traffic when school is not in session. Safe Routes to Schools is a 21 st century program that creates sustainable transportation solutions that benefit everyone, whether you are a student or a senior. Children are indicators as to the safety of our streets. When our streets are safe for children to walk and bicycle, they are safe for everyone. More people walking and bicycling for transportation creates a cleaner environment, a more livable neighborhood, and healthier individuals who are active in the community.
