The Sonoma County Safe Routes to School program is funded primarily via the Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authority, through the One Bay Area Grant & Go Sonoma Transportation tax. Other current and past funding partners include the Town of Windsor, the California Department of Public Health Kid's Plate Program, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services, Providence Health Foundation, Kaiser Permanente Community Benefits, and more. Sonoma County Safe Routes to Schools provides guidance and resources to K-12 Sonoma County schools.. The goal of Safe Routes to School programs is to encourage walking and bicycling where it is safe, and to advocate for needed changes where biking or walking  is not safe. SRTS programs use an integrated approach that includes five E's - encouragement, education, evaluation, engineering, and enforcement. A school can launch a SRTS program with just one component, and build from there. In doing so, SRTS programs address health and safety by reducing traffic congestion around schools, increasing physical activity, encouraging lifestyle changes for families, creating safer, calmer streets and neighborhoods, and improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
