PPS and the City of Portland have long worked together through the Portland Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) program. Transportation improvement projects at and around district schools have helped more students, families and school employees get to and from school more safely. The city and school district have agreed to use $5 million of the proposed bond to continue that work. If Measure 26-121 passes, city and school district staff would work together to develop a master list of transportation projects to improve traffic and pedestrian safety around all district schools.
