Samenvatting
Washington state school districts are required to develop and distribute school walk routes for all elementary schools. This guidebook assists school transportation directors, in conjunction with parents, teachers, and local public works officials, with developing these routes. Its main purposes are to: (1) provide direction on how to develop and implement school walk routes; (2) explain procedures to identify pedestrian safety deficiencies along school walk routes and suggest remedial actions; and (3) recommend efficient procedures which school administrators can use to work with their local public works agencies to remedy these deficiencies.
