If documentation such as sketches, pictures, maps, exhibits, diagrams, and tables are submitted, they must be referenced in the text and numbered sequentially. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 1. Describe the potential safety problem(s) by indicating the engineering, encouragement, educational and/or enforcement issues relating to walking and/or biking to and from school site(s), such as: • Lack of Safe Routes to School Plan • No crossing guard(s) • Children walking in street Roadway safety • Safe biking • Use of bike helmets 17 A -1 Enforcement of speed limits • On -street parking • Drop off points • Recent changes in adjacent land use and/or development • Potential users not traveling due to perceived risk • Possible storm water drainage design issues Note: In addition to describing the problem(s), explain any obstacles (physical or perceived) to walking/biking to school and how they are related to the identified problem(s). The Lubbock area does not currently have a SRTS Plan. The sidewalk and curb ramp infrastructure needs a major overhaul, and the need to document missing sidewalks and curb ramps is evident. In the older parts of the City of Lubbock, no requirements were in place during development; therefore, the infrastructure is lacking or non-existent. This makes encouraging walking and biking to school a safety issue. The hazards of children walking in the street where no sidewalks exist are real. (Attacment A-1) Where safe routes for children to travel to and from school do not exist, parents are reticent to allow children to walk or ride bikes. Not only does this impact the health of children, but it impacts the roadway by means of traffic congestion and the environment by means of air pollution. 2. Identify risks or hazards facing children who bike and/or walk to school and how they will be address 5 A —2 by a SRTS Program and Plan. If crashes or incidents have occurred, identify date, time, frequency, type, and severity of crashes that will be addressed by the proposed program and plan. Other information, such as health statistics may also be included as supporting documentation. Risks face children who choose to walk or bike to school' when the routes are not passable due to lack of sidewalk, debris on paths or other equipment in the ROW such as signage, meters, or landscaping. The students will revert to walking in the roadway, which is not advisable. Two years of crash data were queried which shows that 304 pedestrians and bicyclists were involved in incidents in 2005 and 2006. (Attachment A-2) The SRTS Plan will instigate educational and encouragement programs to keep students safe while walking or biking to school, as well as encourage new pedestrian & biker involvement. 3. Describe the student population as it relates to a SRTS Program and Plan. Complete Appendix A: 8 A —3 CURRENT ENVIRONMENT for each school that may participate in the local SRTS program and plan development. The City of Lubbock map (Attachment A-3), shows an overall view of all elementary and middle and high schools within the City Limits. Subsequent maps show more specific, detailed information, such as school zones, beacons, crosswalks and all -way stops. (Attachments A-4 through A-12) Interestingly, Appendix A shows that 76% of Lubbock schools have 50% or more students eligible for free or reduced lunch. Tx DOT (1/12/2007) - SRTS Application for Non -Infrastructure Project: Program and Plan Development -page 3 of 10 Attachment B — Proposed SRTS Program and Plan Development Use Attachment B to describe how the local SRTS program and plan will be developed with the goal of improving safety and encouraging biking and walking to school. The connection between the problem(s) and the proposed solution(s) must be clearly demonstrated. If documentation such as sketches, pictures, maps, exhibits, diagrams, and tables are submitted, they must be referenced in the text and numbered sequentially. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 1. Describe how developing a local SRTS program and plan will improve safety with respect to the 30 B - 1 documented problem(s), including the potential to reduce child injuries and fatalities. Please note any anticipated changes to the area around the school(s) or the community that may impact pedestrian and bicycle travel. The lack of a SRTS Plan has an adverse effect on any community -wide effort to encourage students to walk or bike to school. A SRTS Plan will be used to plan safe walking and biking routes to schools. The compiled database from the Partners will make identifying infrastructure needs easier. With the SRTS training, all Partners will be made aware of the engineering, encouragement, educational and enforcement aspects of a working SRTS Plan. One of the goals of a SRTS Plan is to involve parents and students with programs such as bicycle rodeos and walking buses. Two new Lubbock ISD schools in Fall 2007, and new Frenship ISD campuses in 2006, as well as a planned Lubbock -Cooper ISD elementary in 2008, generate a number of new paths through neighborhoods, which will impact the traffic- vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclist- through the neighborhoods. Near one elementary school, which has previously been surrounded by cotton fields, there are residential communities and business developments being built which will impact the travel for pedestrians, bikers and drivers. The growth in the Lubbock community will increase vehicular use even though sidewalks and curb ramps are now required during construction. However, this increase in vehicular traffic may lessen walking and biking tendencies, unless the educational and encouragement aspects of SRTS are addressed. Two of the five Frenship schools in the Lubbock area have been built recently within un-developed residential neighborhoods that are adjacent to highly traveled two-lane arterials. These areas will experience transportation changes as the residential areas are completed. TxDOT (1/12/2007) • SRTS Application for Non -Infrastructure Project: Program and Plan Development • page 4 of 10 Attachment C — Partnership Coordination Use Attachment C to describe how partnerships will contribute to the development of a local SRTS program and plan so that it will further enhance and encourage walking or biking to and from school. (if filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 10 C - 1 1 Describe any proposed and/or existing partnerships with agencies, organizations and/or individuals which will directly support your local SRTS program and plan. Existing SRTS Partners include: Lubbock ISD, Frenship ISD, Lubbock -Cooper ISD, Lubbock PD, Lubbock MPO and Texas Bicycle Coalition. Endorsement letters from Partners to City of Lubbock's City Manager are found in Attachment C-1. The SRTS Team expects that with the compilation of separate databases, the SRTS Plan can locate infrastructure needs. Other partners the SRTS team will invite to help in the building of a SRTS Plan are individual school PTAs, Safety City and bicycling clubs. These existing and proposed partners already encourage walking & biking by educational and safety campaigns and enforcing traffic laws; however, a consolidated effort will benefit the community. Each of the school districts has parent and teacher involvement to ensure that campus traffic is as safe as possible. The Lubbock PD currently administers School Crossing Guard program, in addition to actively enforcing speed limits in school zones. The School Districts' PDs are active in the enforcement of a no jay -walking policy. The City of Lubbock is active in safety issues, responding to citizen requests for changes near school campuses. The City also maintains school beacons, crosswalks and signs in each of the three school districts partnering in the SRTS Plan. 2. Describe how existing and proposed partnerships will work together to develop a local SRTS 10 C - 2 program and plan. Proposal shall address if enforcement, engineering, education, and/or encouragement will be addressed. If included describe how, and if not included, describe why not. The Partners desire to increase the number of students walking and biking, to promote healthy lifestyles and a sense of community involvement. Through walk -ability and ride -ability surveys, the SRTS team will gather information with the expectation of initiating programs to promote that form of transportation. Lubbock, Frenship & Lubbock -Cooper ISD PD departments patrol schools daily with the intention of keeping students safe. The citizens of Lubbock, particularly K-8 graders, will benefit from the creation of a SRTS Plan. As the partners locate infrastructure needs, they will also educate school children, their parents and the general public on the safest, healthiest ways to commute to school, encouraging walking and biking. 10 C - 3 3. Describe how you will manage the development of a local SRTS program and plan to ensure successful completion. The Partners will meet bi-monthly at the beginning of the process to bring databases and other information to the Team. Once the databases are compiled by City forces, the team will be given maps and other documents that pertain to SRTS. Training for the Team is expected to be a one -day workshop such as available though SRTS Program in Marin County, CA. The Partners will develop a SRTS Plan. A list of goals to implement the SRTS Plan will be developed.

O. Box 2000 Lubbock,Texas 79457 Dear Ms. Dumbauld: The Lubbock Independent School District wholeheartedly supports the City of Lubbock's SRTS application for funding to develop a SRTS Plan. Lubbock ISD is committed to being part of the SRTS team for our city as we work collaboratively to compile and combine our databases into one comprehensive database to be used as a tool to locate needs pertaining to the safe and healthy travel of our K-8 students to and from school. There is a drastic increase in the traffic around a school campus as students arrive at school in the morning and leave at the end of the school day. Traffic and traffic patterns must be continually monitored to ensure the safety of student and parent pedestrians and bicyclists; therefore, the efforts of this application to promote safety complement our goals. Additionally, there are growing concerns nation-wide regarding childhood obesity and children becoming less physically active. By providing safe routes, we enable and encourage children to walk and bicycle to school, which could develop into a lifelong, healthy habit of physical activity. Again, we pledge our support and hope the Texas Department of Transportation will favorably consider your SRTS application. Sincerely, Ale� Wayn Ha ens WH/bh FRENSHIP Independent School District P.D.

As I understand the program, the purpose is to enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school. The programs make walking and biking to school safe and more appealing. SRTS projects and activities improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and air pollution in the vicinity of primary and middle schools (grades K-8). It is for the listed reasons that I recommend and endorse the SRTS Application for funding to develop a SRTS Plan. I have committed myself to the success of this very important program. As an SRTS partner, I will work with the other SRTS partners to help develop a SRTS Plan that will locate needs pertaining to the safe and healthy travel of school children to and from school.

Currently, we are participating in a National Safe Routes to School Pilot Program in northern and western Texas. This program began in 2005 and includes 26 cities and more than 300 schools, making it the largest Safe Routes to School pilot program in the nation. We have worked closely with local school districts focusing on Education, Encouragement, and Evaluation. BikeTexas Safe Routes to School as a part of the Texas Bicycle Coalition, one of the strongest bicycle advocacy organizations in the nation. This fact places us in a unique position to contribute to Lubbock's efforts to make the streets safer for children riding and walking to school. We are committed to a partnership with Lubbock by providing our experience and knowledge of the Education, Encouragement, and Evaluation aspects of the program.
