The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Programme was developed in partnership with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Green-Schools in 2020 as a response to the need to support schools to increase pupils walking and cycling to and from the classroom.
Limerick City & County Council’s Active Travel team is tasked with delivering the infrastructure to provide the Scheme, following successful funding applications from the schools directly to the NTA.
Aims of the SRTS Programme:
- Improve safety at the school gate by providing ‘front of school’ treatments to alleviate congestion and improve access;
- Improve access routes to school by improving walking and cycling infrastructure; and
- Increase the number of students who cycle to school by expanding the amount of cycle parking
