1A. Identify Target Schools The Three Rivers Educational Campus is a new facility opening in September 2013 with the capacity to educate 2,500 children from ages 3 to 18 and will be the focus of our Safe Routes to School plan. The Three Rivers Local School District is comprised of the Village of Addyston, Village of Cleves, Village of North Bend and Miami Township. We are located in the southwest portion of Ohio along the Ohio River and State Route 50 west of Cincinnati. The educational campus is located on the western edge of the district’s boundaries. We have built an educational campus to replace all of our aging schools and achieve our mission of being a learning community committed to excellence. The Three Rivers Educational Campus will include Three Rivers Elementary School, a prek through 6th grade facility, and Taylor High School, a 7th through 12th grade facility. This educational campus will be approximately 7 acres under roof and the spine of the building that separates the schools is the length of 4 consecutive football fields. Once operational it will be the most environmentally friendly school buildings in the state. The location of the building of the educational campus within the Village of Cleves is one of the few areas within our school district which is conducive to walking and biking. Three Rivers Local School District is working with the Village of Cleves on our Safe Routes to School plan so we can prioritize the changes that are essential to making a safe route to school for this new school. Together we will be using the 5 E’s (Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation) on our approach to create safe walking and biking paths to school.

District Bus Policies

Policy: Rivers School District buses all students from kindergarten through 8th grade. We bus any child who lives on “dangerous road areas” like Bridgetown Rd, East Miami Ave, US Route 50. We bus any special needs student with IEPS accommodations that include special transport.

How it affects student travel modes (3-5 sentences):

70+% of our students are bused to school. An additional 20+% are brought to school by parents. Only 3% of the students walk to school.

School Travel Policies

Policy: Buses will not go into dead end roads except for extraordinary situations. Buses will stop on the side of the main road adjacent to the side road where possible.

How it affects student travel modes (3-5 sentences):

The vast majority of our students ride the bus.

3D. School Arrival and Dismissal Process.

Do school buses and parent vehicles use the same driveway for arrival and dismissal?

Yes, all vehicles use the same driveway.

X No, there are separate driveways for family vehicles and school buses.

Do all students use the same entrance to the school building in the morning?

Yes, all students enter the building at the same location.

X No, students can use different entrances. If no, in three sentences or less, describe how students enter the building: The PreK-12 school is divided into “wings” with a PreK-6 entrance and a 7-12 entrance. Students enter the building through their grade appropriate entrance.

Are all students released at the same time during dismissal?

X Yes, all students are released at the same time, 2:45 pm. No, we use a staggered release process (walkers are released first, bus riders

second, etc.). If no, in two sentences or less, describe how dismissal is staggered at your school:

Is school staff involved in either arrival or dismissal?

Reasons for not allowing children to walk or bicycle to school: Distance Our new school is located on the western edge of our school district in the Village of Cleves. 83% of the student body lives more than 1 mile away from school. It is too far to walk/bike and the times they would be walking are in the dawn or dusk hours it is too dangerous.

Amount of Traffic Along Route Our school district is located in village/suburban type area where our road system grew from historic routes and our subdivisions out of farmer’s fields. Now this densely populated area has few main roads and these roads connect everything: the subdivisions; the villages; the schools; the shopping; and the business. These roads are major arteries but the speed limit changes from 40 to 25 depending upon where you are in on these roads and the perception from most residents is drivers exceed the posted speed limit. As you can imagine, we have few formal cross walks and traffic lights and this makes crossing the roads a dangerous proposition.

Speed of Traffic Along Route As described above, our school district has few main roads which carries our approximately 11K+ *residents to work, school, daycare and more each day. We follow typical traffic patterns where we see very heavy traffic in the morning and it spikes again mid-afternoon. However, unlike most communities we have a major route, US RT 50, which runs through our district. This major corridor carries a significant amount of commuters in and out of Cincinnati daily and also is home to some of our residents. * residence stats obtained from http://www.publicschoolreview.com/agency_schools/leaid/3904739

Sidewalks or Pathways We lack sidewalks within subdivisions and along our major roads, a victim of suburban sprawl. Our villages do have sidewalks in key areas, however, the vast majority of these sidewalks are old, broken and in bad shape. In conjunction with sidewalks, the curbs are broken and deteriorating which makes walking/biking hazardous. And in the rain, several sections of sidewalks are under water forming big pools of standing water.

Safety of Intersections and Crossings Our crosswalk and intersections are dangerous for the amount of traffic, the speed of the traffic and the age of the students. Parents would feel more comfortable with these intersections if we would have an adult assisting.

Our school district lacks sidewalks for walking or biking when you live close to a school. There is

a lot of traffic going too fast on our roads. There are no crossing guards or adults who ensure

our child’s safety. The world has become an increasing dangerous place to live where adults

prey on children who are left unsupervised.

Despite the obstacles, parents are agreeing to let their children walk or bike to school but at an

older age and if changes can be made for the better; improving our sidewalks, slowing down

traffic and providing adult safety.

3F. Safety Issues and Concerns.

Relevant traffic crashes.

We will present two sets of data: Cleves Police Data and Crash Data from SRTS website. Village of Cleves Police Data These numbers were secured by the Village of Cleves Police. These are the statistics they have for the traffic incidence. There were ____184___________ total crashes within the STP study area. The crashes resulted in ___49__________injuries and ___2_________fatalities. The number of crashes that involved bicycles was ______4_______. The number of crashes that involved pedestrians was ___2__________.

Crash Data from 2008 – 2010 Safe Routes to School Website http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Planning/SPPM/SystemsPlanning/Pages/SRTSCrashStatistics.aspx The data below was supplied by the ODOT Division of Planning from the Safe Routes to School Crash Statistics. All accidents reported by this mechanism have injuries and involve pedestrians or bicyclists. There were ____6___________ total crashes within the STP study area. The crashes resulted in ___8__________injuries and ___0_________fatalities. The number of crashes that involved bicycles was ______2_______. The number of crashes that involved pedestrians was ___4__________.

Walking and bicycling encouragement activities at the school. Identify and describe activities at your school that support or encourage walking and bicycling.

Activity How it encourages walking or bicycling (1-3 sentences)

Walk-a-thon Our PTA/PTO’s sponsor an annual walk-a-thon as a fundraiser. It encourages students to walk and be fit. It is a fun event where all students participate.

2012’s event was held in conjunction with a pep rally for some of our buildings.

Fear the Cliff This annual 5k walk/run and 10k run through our community which encourages which encourages walking and running across gender and age groups

Field Day Each school creates a day in the Spring filled with fun physical fitness for the students. This encourages walking, activity and movement.

Girls On The Run An after school program where 5th

grade girls train to walk or run in a 5k race in downtown Cincinnati. It also encourages positive self-esteem, healthy eating and smart choices.

Boy Scouts of America

Girls Scouts

Work on badges and do activities to promote healthy heart, walking, biking and exercise.

See Step 4 of the STP Guide for instructions on how to complete this Section.

See Exhibit C: Travel Survey – performed early 2012 See Exhibit D: Parent Survey – performed early 2013

Please note the parent survey reflects the old schools which are Miami Heights Elementary (prek through 1st), Charles T Young (2nd through 4th) and Three Rivers Middle School (5th through 8th). We believe that regardless of the location of the school the survey reflects the attitudes of our parents within the Three Rivers Local School District.

Issue/Description

Speed of Traffic Along Route 1. Cars and Trucks exceed the posted speed limit. 2. Speed limit is high, 40 miles per hour, on some parts of our roads where children will need

to walk or bike.

Amount of Traffic Along Route 1. There are many cars and trucks on the roads. We have few main roads connecting key

areas of our communities.

Sidewalks or Pathways 1. The majority of our roads do not have sidewalks. 2. The sidewalks in our Villages are old, broken and in disrepair.

Safety of Intersections and Crossings 1. We have few intersections with lights and proper signals for walking/biking. 2. Some intersections cross a major rural arteries US RT 50. 3. We lack adult, crossing guards or police officers helping pedestrian travelers.

Violence or Crime 1. The Village of Cleves’ lack of funds to pay for the extra police coverage throughout the

Village has an impact on the sense of safety and security that parents have when deciding whether or not to let their children walk/ride to school.

2. We have some concern about sex offenders and generally unstable people who may lurk and wait for children as they walk/ride unsupervised to school.

3. We have concern about what our children will see and hear when they walk by a bar from school. An additional concern is the traffic which centers around the local, corner bar.

5A. Non-infrastructure Countermeasure Recommendations

The non-infrastructure improvements Three Rivers School District will make by engaging with our parent and student will enable us to benchmark our efforts by providing quantitative numbers like how many students are actually walking and biking as well as subjective information like parents, students and teachers. The real payback for us will be having the police officer assigned to the school. The police officer will be seen therefore easing parent concerns about bad sidewalk, crime, sexual offenders and the bar crowd. The police officer will also be a deterrent to reckless driving where we would see cars speeding; not coming to a complete stop; prevent accidents with walker and bikers; and general aggravation. We are moving into a new school building where all grades pre-K through 12th grade will attend. We will have few roads that will lead to the school. The community with the 1 mile radius of school will need these assurances for safety and will need to see the police out and about; helping make our community safe. If this is not addressed, the committee believes we will see a decrease in walkers/bikers for next year and an increase in family or carpool driving. EDUCATION COUNTERMEASURES: List and describe the education strategies that your team plans to implement in the next 12 months in the table below.

EDUCATION

Issue/Need Countermeasure

Walking and biking safety A unit in Physical Education for all students on “rules of the road”

Program Evaluations Work with educators to see if the programs in place to promote walking/biking/healthy habits are working; if they need to be modified or replaced

Surveys: Student Travel Tallies/ Parent Travel Surveys

Use the survey tools from SRTS to do a check of our progress in getting children to walk/ride and parent’s attitudes. Create baseline data from the new school to judge future progress.

Informal checks Check bike racks for usage; talk with adult helping with walkers/bikers for any antidotal information; talk with students to see why they walk/bike and why their friends can’t

List the medium and long term strategies (those that your team will undertake beyond 12 months) below:

1. Walker/biker counts. Set up a way to capture walker/biker counts on a daily basis. 2. Parent Walk/Bike Group. Work with the community groups to evaluate their

efforts in the local populations/communities.

5C. Infrastructure Countermeasure Recommendations

The infrastructure funds requested are important to our Safe Routes to School success because they address three items. ‘

Item 1: Add and repair sidewalks on Miami. The sidewalks on Miami are in decrepit shape. It is hard to bike on these sidewalks and we have no bike lanes on our roads. We believe we will not see many people biking due to the shape of the sidewalks. Walking will believe will also suffer if we do not see sidewalk addition and repair. It becomes hard to walk on uneven, broken and missing sidewalks. We feel the biggest impact will be to the younger students as it is hard to walk if we do not have good sidewalks.

Item 2: Scott St sidewalks not in place will deter only a fraction of our walkers. We feel it would impact the youngest of the students in the elementary school.

Item 3: At Miami and State, you will not be able to cross the street safely. Due to the traffic turning onto Miami from State

Item 4: At US 50 and Mt Nebo, you will not be able to cross the street unless you run. The light is not long enough and cars are going ~50 hr. We will continue to have accidents at this intersection

Items 5: On Markland, Morgan and Finely St, we recommend speed humps. We would like to do this project in 2014 after we have discussion with the surrounding community. We believe we will see an increase in traffic on these roads due to the new school. We believe we will see an increase in walkers in this area due to our student population. We believe we will see speeding in this area.
