It's that time of year, once again, to start the process of developing your school's Safe Routes Utah Plan (formerly known as SNAP Plan).

Due to recent changes to JSD boundaries, your school's municipal representative would like to be included in the initial planning process. As you work with your school's safety team and school community council, please invite your municipal representative to the planning/SCC meeting.
The Safe Routes Utah Plan is a fillable form that must be downloaded.
Safe Routes Utah Plans for schools in the cities of Bluffdale, Herriman, Riverton and South Jordan are due by Friday, January 18, 2019.
Safe Routes Utah Plans for schools in the City of West Jordan are due and will be signed at the Auxiliary Services Building (ASB) auditorium, Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 1:00 p.m.
