NI ISSUES: Are there any examples of materials that our Student Patrol can use to “ticket” drivers who are parking in inappropriate areas?
A. Thank you to Jennifer Hefferan, SRTS Coordinator for Washington DC for the following information on the Student Patrol at Murch Elementary, 2009 Oberstar Award winners…: One of our schools created these “tickets” and their Student Safety Patrols give them out to drivers who are creating an unsafe environment for the walkers/bicyclists. It’s been really successful at this school, so much so that they don’t really need to use the tickets anymore! The arrival was extremely chaotic before (making the situation dangerous for walkers) and now it runs really smoothly. I’m told that one of the kids was very proud to give a ticket to his mom last spring! Click HERE for a template.
