When did Michigans SR2S program begin?
From 2003-05 the Michigan Department of Transportation partnered with the Michigan Fitness Foundation to administer a Safe Routes to School pilot program at 11 elementary schools around the state. The purpose of the pilot was to develop a set of materials and procedures that any Michigan elementary school could use to begin its own SR2S initiative. When the pilot ended in 2005 the program was expanded statewide and made available to all schools.
