Suggested Routes to Schools

Suggested Routes to School (SRTS) aims to create safer conditions around schools and encourages students, parents, and school staff to walk, bike, or roll to school. The City of Irvine, in partnership with Irvine Unified School District (IUSD), Tustin Unified School District (TUSD), and local public schools, is continuing the development of SRTS throughout Irvine. 

A total of 45 public schools, including a mix of elementary, middle, K-8, and high schools in the City of Irvine, will receive their own tailored SRTS study with a School-Based Mobility Assessment, a Suggested Routes to School Map, and a Suggested Routes to School Action Plan. 

The City has conducted outreach efforts, including a survey and public workshop, to gather feedback in order to better understand the community’s transportation needs in and around all 45 public schools in Irvine.
