Safe School Transportation Program Survey

Help us make getting to school safer and easier.

GRPS and the City of Grand Rapids are working together to improve school transportation safety. Please answer a few questions about how you get to and from school.

Your answers are anonymous. We don’t collect your name. Results are reviewed by school, not by individual.

We’ll compare survey results with other data to find ways to improve trips, like adding crossing guards, restriping crosswalks, and supporting schools that want to encourage walking and biking. This survey is one of several tools guiding the work. Your input won’t be the only factor, but it will meaningfully influence policy and priorities.

Thank you for helping plan safer trips.
