Full scope

  • Tampa School Transportation Safety Study scope outlines strategies for a school safety study that is focused on advancing physical transportation system improvements around schools and developing a framework for encouraging walking, biking, and busing. This work builds on the previous Transportation Planning Organization's (TPO) School Safety Study (2018) and will establish a library of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) resources that can be used to support individual school programs in the future. Our initial project approach includes the following tasks:


  • Identification of physical transportation system improvements around and connecting to a set-of schools


  • Development of school specific education and encouragement strategies and a template/process that can be used for other schools in the district
