SFSRTS staff and consultants took formal tallies of student arrivals and departures, using nationally-developed Student Travel Tally forms linked below, in visits to sixteen local schools between September 2021 and December 2023. As indicated in the graph and table below, roughly eight six percent reported arriving by non-motorized means on the day of the visit, including 6.5% walking, 1.5% bicycling, and 0.1% by scooter or skateboard. Nearly 80% of students arrived by their own family’s private vehicle and 13.5% arrived by school bus.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) Safe Routes to School Evaluation Forms:
The SFSRTS Program has adapted the PBIC Parent Survey with locally significant questions added, in Spanish and English, particularly to solicit families’ involvement in our program activities. The new survey was tried out at three “Fix-It Fiestas” held in April 2022 in English-only paper forms, and piloted by Ortiz Middle School as a bilingual electronic survey in 2023.
