project OVERVIEW

Y2K was an integral part of the project team that developed a five-year strategic Safe Routes to School Action Plan for the City and County of Denver’s (CCD) Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI). The plan identified a comprehensive program of strategies prioritized by implementation timeline and focus area. This five-year “roadmap” will help further build the existing program and verify that students in the City and County of Denver have access to safe infrastructure, safety education, and engaging programming.  

As a subject matter expert in Safe Routes to School, Y2K was responsible for key tasks including stakeholder engagement, recommending SRTS action strategies, examining project sites for road safety issues, identifying key issues for school ingress and egress points and circulation plans, evaluating infrastructure, developing a web application for distribution to parents and teachers, developing an online story map and providing funding and implementation recommendations to school administers and other stakeholders. Y2K performed a spatial analysis to quantify infrastructure assists within the vicinity of 300 schools. This effort was used to develop a tiered approach to equitably address school needs.
