Project Overview

Carrboro is updating its Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Strategic Plan to make it safer and easier for students to walk, bike, or roll to school at Carrboro Elementary, McDougle Elementary, Morris Grove Elementary, McDougle Middle, and Carrboro High. The Town is contracting with Three Oaks Engineering to assess how students travel, gather input from families and community members, and develop strategies to support active transportation.
