Participating SRTS School Display Boards
These boards provided the school representatives and community with an assessment of the school. Included on each board are the school demographics, existing infrastructure including sidewalks and bicycle facilities, a two-mile radius boundary, photo of street and school entrance, and safe route questions for parents, teachers, and students to answer.
Display boards were produced by the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Regional Planning Agency.  For more information contact Melissa Taylor, Senior Planner at taylor_melissa@mail.chattanooga.gov.
Monitoring and documenting outcomes and trends through the collection of data, including the collection of data before and after the intervention(s).
Activate Chattanooga partners are currently developing the evaluation component of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Safe Routes to School Program.  For the pilot year 2006- 2007 we introduced a parent surveys and conducted observational assessments of traffic and safety patterns.  This data was then used to understand the existing social and physical situation either promoting or hindering walking and biking to school.  During the 2007-2008 school year we hope to build upon the existing survey, add a grade-appropriate student survey, and partner with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to conduct an intervention & behavioral study which would serve to structure an on-going scientific evaluation program.
Who takes responsibility for this component?
