SRTS New Tools for Schools Webinar - April 29, 2020
On April 29, 2020, Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program hosted a webinar on New Tools for Schools. This webinar was designed to provide an overview of new tools and resources developed by the Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program for individual schools, school districts, and municipalities. A few of the resources that were reviewed will included our bike safety training video, a driver awareness handout, and the new SRTS toolkit. During the webinar, we took the time to examine all tools as well as provided guidance on intended audiences and usage. We finished the webinar with an overview of our website, a preview of key findings from our recent SRTS Partner Survey, and announcements of upcoming events.
