It is time to begin our Safe Routes for 26-27. Please go to the website https://saferoutes.utah.gov/school-mapping/. If you need help getting your log in information or adding a new contact at your school please contact Kristen Hoschouer at khoschouer@utah.gov to request what you need.
Each map must be reviewed, completed with no gaps in the lines, and updated. If the state map does not match the map you submitted, please contact Kristen Hoschouer (khoschouer@utah.gov) at the state directly. Corrections to the maps cannot be edited or amended at the district level.
Instructions from the state require that schools:
- Identify a Safe Routes Committee
- Create/update the Safe Routes Map and submit for district approval
- Create/update the Safe Routes plan report
All of this information, including guides and video tutorials, can be found on the new state website https://saferoutes.utah.gov/school-mapping/.
The District Safe Routes To School (SRTS) forms from last year have been updated and placed in a shared drive by the corresponding city. Follow the appropriate link below and find your school. You will see last year’s information entered by the school still on it for reference and convenience. Make updates to the form as needed.
Once updates have been completed, these forms will be shared with city governments for review and response. Because it is shared, you will be able to see the city’s responses to better prepare for our meetings (DATES TBD). Your schools Safe Routes to School forms are due on or before Friday, February 13, 2026 (but the sooner the better). If you have any questions please contact the district School Safety Coordinator, Matt Alvernaz matt.alvernaz@jordandistrict.org.
