Safe Routes to School Program

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is a federally funded, community‐based initiative to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to and from schools. The program has been designed to reverse the decline in children walking and bicycling to schools, and to help address the alarming nationwide trend toward childhood obesity and inactivity.

A task SRTS Team representing diverse sectors of the City of Chillicothe was convened in May of 2012 and has met regularly since that time to develop and implement a SRTS Improvement Plan for schools in the Chillicothe City School District. The schools include Allen Elementary School, Mt. Logan Elementary School, Tiffin Elementary School, and Worthington Elementary School.

Using the five “E’s” in walking and bicycling safety: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation, the task force identified how current conditions could be improved to make it safer and more attractive for children to walk and bicycle to school. Engineering refers to infrastructure projects that improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment within two miles of a school. The other E’s refer to non‐infrastructure programs that are intended to affect student or driver behavior to result in more walking and biking to school.

Chillicothe City School District

The Chillicothe City School District encompasses the City of Chillicothe, in Ross County, Ohio. District includes eight schools comprised of one preschool, four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. This report focuses on the four elementary schools located in the school district: Allen Elementary School, Mount Logan Elementary School, Tiffin Elementary School, and Worthington Elementary School.

District Transportation Policy

The district provides bus transportation of students in grades K‐8 who live more than two miles from school. The district will also provide bus transportation to students who live less than two miles away and also must cross a major thoroughfare, right of way or passage without a crosswalk, overpass or underpass. In addition, the district will provide bus transportation to any kindergarten student where the school board considers a walking route to school dangerous. A full copy of the Chillicothe City School District Bus Policy is located in Appendix F.

Allen Elementary is located in a residential area, in western Chillicothe. The school fronts Plyleys Lane. The one entrance to the school connects to both the faculty parking in the back and the multipurpose loop in the front of the school.

Students Living within Walking or Bicycling Distance from School

The Safe Routes to School program defines a reasonable distance to walk to school as one (1) mile and bicycle to school as two (2) miles or closer. To better determine the potential amount of students walking and bicycling to school, the table below lists the amount of students living within specified distances from the school. This data is approximated from the Safe Routes to School Radius Map, provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation. A copy of the map is located in Appendix B.

Distance From School Number of Students % of Student Body

Within 1/4 Mile of School 5 3%


Within 1 Mile of School 114 61%

Within 2 Miles of School 179 96%

Amount and Route of Students Currently Walking and Bicycling to School

The school conducted a Student Travel Tally to determine travel modes and primary walking and bicycling routes to and from school. The results of the Student Travel Tally are summarized in the following table. The full student travel tally aggregate is located in Appendix B.

This chapter discusses issues that impact walking and bicycling to Chillicothe City Schools and proposes countermeasures for addressing them.

The issues covered in this chapter were identified through discussions with the SRTS Team; responses to principal and parent surveys; walk audits at each school; evaluation of written documents detailing city and school district plans, policies, procedures, and programs; and evaluation of data provided by the state, city, and school district.

Non‐infrastructure Countermeasure Recommendations

In order to emphasize the multifaceted approach necessary to address identified issues, countermeasures are categorized based on the “5 Es” (education, enforcement, encouragement, engineering, and evaluation). Non‐infrastructure countermeasures represent four of the “5 Es” (education, enforcement, encouragement, and evaluation). A calendar is provided to show the month anticipated to implement the non‐infrastructure countermeasures planned for the next 12 months.

The last of the “5Es,” Engineering, is represented in the non‐infrastructure tables. These tables provide information on the approximate cost, priority, and a general timeframe anticipated for implementation.

869214 DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. SOMEONE TRIED TO GET MY OLDEST DAUGHTER TO GET INTO A CAR (WITHIN50 FEET OF OUR HOME). CHILDREN NEED TO BE ESCORTED BY PARENT IF WALKING. QUESTION #9 -10TH GRADE

869227 QUESTION #10 - CHILDS DISABILITY

869257 DON'T LIKE HOW MRS. ROE CLASS IS ALWAYS THE LAST CLASS TO LEAVE THE BUILDING

869269 I BELIEVE WALKING/RIDING TO SCHOOL SHOULD BE FULLY SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED. I WILL HELPIN ANY WAY

869278 I WOULDN'T ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK ALONE. HOWEVER I DO WALK HER HOME SOMETIMES.

869286 I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO WALK OR RIDE TO SHOOL DUE TO POTENTIAL OR ESTABLISHEDPEDIPHILES.

869294 TRAFFIC ALONG ALLEN AVE IS VERY FAST AT TIMES. A BLINKING YELLOW AT THE SCHOOL ZONE. SIGNSMIGHT HELP SLOW DOWN CARELESS DRIVERS.

869251 WE ARE ENROLLED THROUGH OPEN ENROLLMENT. WALKING OR BIKING IS NO OPTION TO OUR FAMILYRIGHT NOW.

869255 IF CROSSING GUARDS WERE PRESENT I WOULD ALLOW HIM TO RIDE/WALK AT A SOONER TIME.

869289 *WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER IF THERE WERE A CROSSING GUARD BACK ON ALLEN AVE AT STACEY. WHENPICKING MY CHILD UP ON OCCASION HAVE SEEN DRIVERS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND CHILDREN NOTLOOKING AT CROSSWALK.

869302 BRING BACK THE CROSSING GUARDS!!

869245 INTERSECTIONS ARE DANGEROUS! CARS ARE NOT STOPPING AT INTERSECTIONS. SAD PART IT ISUSUALLY A PARENT PICKING UP THEIR CHILD AND THEY ARE TOO BUSY CONVERSATING ON A PHONEAND NOT WATCHING TRAFFIC!

869287 WEATHER IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE. WE DO LIVE ON A BUSY STREET WHERE CARS OFTEN GO TOO FAST.

869212 NO LONGER A CROSSING GUARD WHERE THERE USED TO BE ONE.

869221 MY CHILDREN OPEN ENROLL IN WORTHINGNTON WE LIVE TO FAR AWAY FOR THEM TO WALK.

869235 I THINK THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDDS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT ALONE TO WALK OR BIKE TO ORFROM SCHOOL.

869236 THE AREA IN WHICH I LIVE AND THE SCHOOL WAS A DECISION WE MADE AS A FAMILY. WE LIKEWORTHINGTON SCHOOL. MY CHILD WOULD LIKELY ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOL IF WORTHINGTON WAS NOTAN OPTION.

869238 I FEEL THAT IT IS OK IF YOUR CHILD LIVES 5 MINUTES FROM SCHOOL AND HAS NO OTHER OPTION BUTTO WALK WITH OLDER FRIEND HOME AND IT IS A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.

869296 THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE POOR DRIVING MOST PEOPLE HAVE AROUND THE SCHOOL WHENIT'S LETTING KIDS LEAVE. PEOPLE SPEED PARK IN THE STREET DON'T TAKE TURNS AT INTERSECTIONSOR WON'T EVEN STOP. THE WORST OF ALL IS THE CITY DID AWAY WITH ADULT CROSSING GUARDS.SAFETY 1ST!!

869250 THERE ARE ALOT OF SEXUAL OFFENDERS AROUND I THINK BUSSING SHOULD BE PROVIDED FORSTUDENTS WHO HAVE TO WALK BY THEMSELVES

869260 CROSSING GUARDS SHOULD BE NECESSITY!!

869290 I FEEL THAT MY CHILD IS TOO YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE TO SCHOOL ATTHIS TIME.

Page 12 of 13

869273 IF THE STREETS WERE PATROLED BETTER BY POLICE ETC. THAN WALKING MAY BE A BETTER OPTION.PLUS I SEE DAILY CHILDREN WALKING RUNNING AND JUMPING IN FRONT OF MOVING VEHICLES ANDHAVE YET TO SEE THE COUNTY POLICE (ROSS) DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN AFTER BEING TOLD. NOTSELLING A GOOD EXAMPLE!

869242 QUESTION #14 - TO FAR

869284 MY DAUGHTER IS OPEN ENROLLED AT WORTHINGTON. IT IS TO FAR FOR HER TO WALK AND A VERYDANGEROUS STREETS FOR HER TO CROSS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.

869295 CHILD GOES TO LATCHKEY SINCE I HAVE TO BE AT WORK BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS AND SCHOOL LETSOUT BEFORE I GET OFF WORK.

869169 STRONGLY ENCOURAGE CROSSING GUARDS ALONG SOUTH SIDE OF BRIDGE STREET. I SEE A LOT OFYOUNG CHILDREN WALKING TO SCHOOL WHO SHOULD BE GUIDED ACROSS THE STREETS.

869170 A BIG THANK YOU TO JOE SHARP FOR TAKING HIS OWN TIME TO MAKE CROSSING BRIDGE STREET SAFEFOR TIFFIN STUDENTS THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT NEEDS CHANGED. THE KIDS DON'T GET ALL THE WAYACROSSED BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGES.

869180 WE NEED OUR CROSS GUARDS BACK!

869183 THINK IT DANGEROUS FOR ANYBODY KIDS WALK OR RIDE BIKES TO SCHOOL NOT SAFE AT ALL.

869193 THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT BRIDGE & 5TH IS NOT SAFE. THE LIGHT CHANGES WHEN THE KIDS ARE ONLYHALFWAY. MR SHARP IS THERE EVERY MORNING AFTERNOON.HE HAS SAVED MANY KIDS FROM GETTINGHIT OR KILLED.

869199 WE NEED OUR CROSS GUARDS BACK!

869202 YES WHY IS THIS FOR AND IT DOES

869174 MY CHILD LIVES ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM SCHOOL AND ALREADY RIDES HIS BIKE SOMETIMES TO SCHOOL

869178 MY HUSBAND OF MYSELF TO ACCOMPANY MY SON TO AND FROM SCHOOL WHICH IS HARD SOMETIMES.

869191 WE NEED OUR CROSS GUARDS BACK.

869201 MY SON CROSSES A BUSY STREET WITH HIGH TRAFFIC WHERE THE CROSSING GUARDS ARE ESSENTIALTO CHILDREN'S SAFETY: BUDGETING REMOVED PAID CROSSING GUARDS FROM DUTY. WITHOUTVOLUNTEERS AS CROSSING GD. MY CHILD WOULD HAVE TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT/PARENTREDUCING THE CONVENIENCE AND EXPERIENCE OF WALKING TO SCHOOL.

869203 MY CHILD LIVES ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM SCHOOL AND ALREADY RIDES HIS BIKE SOMETIMES TO SCHOOL

869188 ITS NOT THE SCHOOL THAT CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS TO & FROM THERE IT IS THE RENTALPROPERTIES AT EACH CORNER OF SCHOOL THAT CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS D/T DRUG ACTIVITY.

869196 I WOULD NEVER ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK/BIKE TO OR FROM THE SCHOOL IN THIS NEIGHBORHOODWITHOUT AN ADULT AND DO NOT FEEL THE SCHOOL SHOULD ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO DO SO.

869204 WE LIVE AN OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN SHE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO WALK

869167 PARENTS NEED TO MAKE SURE THEIR CHILDREN KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEIR SAFETY IS GOING TOAND GOING HOME FROM SCHOOL CAUSE ALOT OF CHILDREN WILL GO OUT IN FROM OF CARS AND THEYCAN GET BADLY HURT DOING THAT.

869168 MY CHILD LIVES IN A RURAL ROUTE THIS DOESN'T APPLY MUCH TO HIM HOWEVER I ANSWERED THEQUESTIONS AS IF WE LIVED IN THE CITY. VIOLENCE & CRIME WOULD BE MY MAIN CONCERNS.

869126 THERE ARE ISSUES OF DRIVERS VIEWS ON CHILDREN CROSSING OR OTHER VEHICLES WHERE THECHURCH LOCATED ON DOUGLAS & SIDE STREET. VEHICLES SPEED ON DOUGLAS & CHILDREN WHOWALK WITHOUT SUPERVISION TO & FROM SCHOOL DOESN'T ALWAYS USE SAFETY PRECAUTION THEYWALK EDGE OF CURB OR ON STREET.

869136 MY CHILDREN WALKED W/ME BEFORE TO TIFFIN. NO FAULT TO SCHOOL BUT I WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUTTHEIR SAFETY AS FAR AS KIDNAPPING OR BEING HIT. WISH WE LIVED CLOSER THEY LOVE TO WALK. MYOPINION ONLY.

869108 WE KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON OUR CHILDREN. QUESTION #10 - WITHIN 4 BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSETO YOUR SCHOOL WE HAVE AT LEAST 30 MEN WHO WOULD LOVE TO GET THEIR HANDS ON A CHILD OROLD PERSON SO OUR CHILDREN NEVER GO OUT ALONE

869137 MY CHILD WALKED W/ME TO TIFFIN. WISH THEY COULD WALK THEY WANT TO BUT I'M NERVOUS ABOUTTHE DANGERS TODAY. TOO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPEN FOR ME TO CHANCE IT WISH WE LIVED CLOSER.

868977 I THINK ALL OF PLYLEYS SHOULD HAVE SIDEWALKS FOR KIDS SAFETY I CAN'T PUSH A STROLLER W/ MYCHILD'S SIBLING TO GET HER FROM SCHOOL THE WAY IT IS NOW.

869029 WE LIVE IN ZONE TRACE. KIDS WOULD WALK IF CLOSE TO SCHOOL 1 MILE OR LESS.

868984 WALKING AND BIKING TO SCHOOL IS VERY GOOD EXERCISE BUT WITH ADULT COMPANY

869013 I PROBABLY WOULD NEVER LET MY CHILD RIDE HIS BIKE OR WALK TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THERE IS NOSIDEWALKS IT IS VERY HILLY AND THERE IS ALOT OF SPEEDING & STRNAGERS.

869026 THIS HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ME. WITH 1 CHILD IN K. THERE ARE 0 SIDEWALKS FROM OUR HOUSETO SCHOOL AND MANY DITCHES - SO NO BIKES AND WALKING WOULD BE DANGEROUS. THERE IS NOPRACTICAL WAY TO PUT INSIDEWALKS.

869050 SCHOOL LOCATIONS ESPECIALLY UPPER GRADES WHERE WALKING/BIKING IS A MORE FEASIBLE OPTIONARE UNDESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOODS FOR UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN.

869055 OUR CHILD IS IN OPEN ENROLLMENT BUT WE LIVE ACROSS FROM AN ELEMENTARY WE WILL NOT LETHIM ATTEND DUE TO OTHER CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR.

869005 I ANSWERED THESE BASED ON MY FIRST GRADER - I HAVE A SIXTH GRADER AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL(WESTERN) AND HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL.

869033 WE LIVE TO FAR AWAY FOR HER TO WALK TO SCHOOL.

869049 IF I LIVED CLOSER I WOULD WALK/BIKE WITH MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. BUT NEVER LET THEM BYTHEIRSELVES BECAUSE THERE ARE WAY TO MANY CREEPY PEOPLE YOU CAN'T TRUST.

868980 WE CHOOSE TO OPEN ENROLL OUR CHILD SO NOT SURE IF THIS SURVEY WOULD APPLY TO MY FAMILY.

868988 I WOULD NEVER LET ANY OF MY KIDS WALK OR RIDE A BIKE TO SCHOOL UNTIL AT LEAST 9TH GRADE NOMATTER HOW CLOSE WE LIVED. TIMES HAVE CHANGED NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE.

868996 WE LIVE TOO FAR ACTUALLY IN UHINOTO SD SO IT WOULDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH CHANGES ITSSTILL TOO FAR.

869043 ALLEN NEEDS CROSSING GUARDS AGAIN. MY CHILD WOULD PROBABLY WALK MORE OFTEN.

869059 VELLEVIEW IS DANGEROUS FOR ANY PEDESTRIAN AND IT IS A UPHILL AND DOWNHILL BOTHWAY. THAT'SA SERIOUS LIABILITY.

868986 I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE LETTING MY CHILD WALK OR RIDE TO SCHOOL UNLESS I COULD GOWITH HER EVEN IF WE LIVED CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL.

868990 MADDIE LIVES TO FAR FROM WESTERN AND THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE.

868997 I THINK KIDS UNDER 14 ARE TO YOUNG TO WALK ON A ROAD BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT ADULTS.

869003 MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE ALLOWED TO WALK TO SCHOOL IF SHE WERE IN HS AND WE LIVED 1/2 MILEFROM SCHOOL

869006 THERE ARE PROBLEMS AT THE BUS STOP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THE KIDS ARE VERY VIOLENT ANDVULGAR WITH MY HUSBAND AND 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS WELL AS MY SELF. IN MY OPINION THOSECHILDREN SHOULD BE THROWN OFF THE BUS PERMANENTLY. FOR EXAMPLE: THIS WEEK A FEW OF THEKIDS WERE ACTUALLY LYING ACROSS THE STREET IT WAS THE MORNING HE HAD HEAVY FOG 2VEHICLES ALMOST HIT THEM. EACH PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO PRESENT TO PUT THEIR CHILD ON THEBUS.IN ANOTHER INCIDENT A 7 YEAR OLD BOY PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE WITH HIS LEGAL GUARDIANPARENT AND APPROVING OF THIS. AFTER SAME THING LIKE THAT THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BEALOUD AT THE DESIGNATED BUS STOP. I DON'T THE BUS SERVICES NEED TO BE STOPPED THEY JUSTNEED TO BE IMPROVED. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR SOME CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL DUE TOBULLYING WHICH EVEN OCCURS WEEKLY AT THE BUS STOP.

869028 I WOULD NEVER FEEL COMFORTABLE ALLOWING MY DAUGHTER TO GO TO SCHOOL. I DON'T FEEL THEWORLD IS SAFE ENOUGH ANYMORE FOR THAT.

869046 I HAVE AN ASSOCIATES IN BUSINESS AND I AM ALSO CURRENTLY WORKING ON MY BACHELORS INBUSINESS EXPECTED GRADUATION DATE APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2013.

869045 EVEN IF MY CHILD WASN'T ON OPEN ENROLLMENT I STILL WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HIMWALKING OR BIKING TO SCHOOL DUE TO HIS AGE AND THE DISTANCE OF THE SCHOOLS FROM OURHOME.

869024 BUS RIDER ALL SCHOOL YEAR

868987 IF MY CHILD LIVED CLOSER TO THE SCHOOL I BELIEVE I WOULD ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK OR RIDE ABIKE TO SCHOOL BY 5TH GRADE. I BELIEVE HE WOULD ENJOY THE BIKE RIDE AS LONG AS HE WASRESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO FOLLOW ALL RULES OF WALKING/BIKING RIDING. I WOULD SUPERVISE THISFOR A FEW DAYS THEN ALLOW HIM TO HAVE HIS INDEPENDANCE AND MY TRUST.
