Safe Routes to School

The City's Safe Routes to School Committee has identified several areas near schools that are in need of safety enhancements. In the past, the City was successful in obtaining several Safe Routes to School grants through the Iowa Department of Transportation for installation of new sidewalks that lead to schools. However, since the program has been redesigned, there has been little to no funding for the continuation of the program.

The City of Spencer along with the Spencer Community School District continue to allocate money each year towards implementing the Safe Routes to School Plan and improvements.
