Safe Routes to School Program
SECTION 1: Existing Conditions - What is the Problem? a) Project Need: Despite recent Trip Tracker (TT) progress, there are still high volumes of
vehicle traffic on adjacent roads and on school properties themselves. Last school year, following a bike/car crash, a participating Trip Tracker student was killed. Based on SRTS survey results (Parent Surveys & Travel Tallies), students and parents have frequently reported a lack of knowledge about safe commuting behaviors in SRTS surveys, which limits their willingness to use active modes to school (Attachment A). Based on TT monthly trip data, the rate of participation (those who report trips monthly) and active transportation trip types (walk/bike, skate/etc.) are not increasing at the same rate as our registration rate. Even though these concerns exist, there is tremendous opportunity to institutionalize a change in school travel behaviors. Data collected from our TT program shows tremendous growth in awareness (112% registration rate increase & a 80% participation rate increase between school year 14-15 and 15-16). Continued SRTS funding will directly address significant barriers by expanding walk/bike educational programming and ongoing incentives for sustainable commuting habits. Moreover, we now have two years worth of data (one annual trend cycle) showing a continued upward trend of walk/bike trips to/from TT schools. Our data now indicates that programs lasting longer than two years are needed for full-scale, institutionalized change. As such, we need more back-to-back school years of data collection to fully evaluate program outcomes and further tailor individualized participation strategies at each school. We believe the continuation of this program will serve as a statewide example of how a multi-year program can move the needle on safe walking and biking to school, as culture shifts take time. Additional referenced data is available in Attachments I & J.
b) Relevant Data: We have collected over 1500 SRTS Parent Surveys from all households (not just households enrolled in TT) and over 300 SRTS Teacher Travel Tallies for all students at participating TT schools to understand parental perceptions of the safety and viability of students walking and biking to schools (Attachment A). This data indicates that besides distance, the volume and speed of traffic and the safety of intersections and crossings along routes to school are the most salient issues affecting the decision to not allow a child to walk or bike to school. Each participant who converts from being driven to school to walking or biking leads to less traffic and congestion around schools, more eyes on the street, and a safer bicycling/pedestrian environment. During the 15-16 school year, TT reduced an incredible 18,688 car trips at the 5 schools (Attachments I & J).
c) School Demographics: Attachment B d) Targeted Schools: The TT Program is planning to include the 7 current 2016-17 TT schools,
plus 1 new school (to be determined) from our list of 8 interested schools. Schools are prioritized & selected by demonstrating school administration and parental support and need communicated via our TT School Interest Survey (Attachment N). Schools must show commitment to program promotion and the collection of multi-year annual data, including TT Monthly Trip Reports, SRTS Parent Surveys (2x/yr), and Travel Tallies (3x/yr).
e) Previous & Existing Activities: TT Schools participate in SRTS Walk & Bike To School Day/Month events (led by TT staff), have crossing guard programs, and have or can complete SRTS Active School Neighborhood Checklists, identifying infrastructure and non-infrastructure potential safety improvements – additional details in Attachment K.

SECTION 2: Tell us about your project. a) Project Goal: Trip Tracker’s (TT) program goal is to reduce the number of cars around
schools at pick-up/drop-off times by institutionalizing a culture of walking, biking, carpooling and busing through education and encouragement, thus improving the overall safety, health, and wellness for participants and non-participants alike. This project’s objectives are to 1) maximize TT participation and 2) to conduct an independent advanced multi-year evaluation to demonstrate if continued participation in TT increases safety & walk/bike rates by combining existing data with 2 more years worth of TT monthly reports and SRTS Parent & Travel Tally surveys.
b) Action Plan: Continue the TT encouragement & educational program for all students and staff at 8 schools for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years, with emphasis on individualizing school participation promotion strategies. The data collected annually will be expertly evaluated and compared to prior years’ data sets to determine if the positive impacts currently seen make a significant difference on walk/bike safety, active transportation rates & culture norm shifts.
c) Addressing Obstacles: Our capacity to collect the data is strong, but we do not have the advanced statistical software capacity to determine if some of the changes we are seeing are significant. However, now that we have one annual trend cycle identifying TT participant behaviors (based on aggregated TT monthly trip reports and SRTS travel tallies - Attachments I & J) we can better use this annual data to individualize program promotion strategies by school moving forward. We are confident that by strengthening the culture of alternative transportation at TT schools through continued education & encouragement efforts, while continuing to collect and evaluate numerous data sources to verify our predictions, more students, parents & staff will feel safer leaving the car at home for travel to/from school.
d) Walk/Bike Increase Potential: This project will maintain servicing the current ~3,825 eligible students and staff at TT Schools and increase the potential number of students and staff by a projected ~850 people, which is a 22% increase from the current level. Allocating a small portion of the budget to a support staff role builds our capacity to indivualize support to TT households, schools and businesses, all of which impact walk/bike rates.
e) Parent Support: TT has been successful in generating parent support, demonstrated in a number of ways: 1) TT registations – performed by parents most often – have doubled over the past two years (Attachments I & J); 2) Most students rely on parents/adults to help track and report their trips online each month and all TT accounts are attached to an adult email (Attachment L); 3) SRTS Parent survey results demonstrate parental buy-in through comments and perception shifts (Attachment A); 4) PTOs make financial contributions to cover some program costs (Attachment M); 5) TT schools provide 2-3 parent volunteers per year (Attachments I & L); 6) Two websites are used to engage parents, BoCoTripTracker.com & StVrainSafeRoutes.com; 7) In order to receive the TT educational & encouragement program the first year, schools must demonstrate commitment to boosting parental support and addressing concerns that could impact TT participation rates (Attachment N).

SECTION 5: How will you measure your success? a) Anticipated Outcomes: By focusing on individualizing participation strategies by school,
we expect bigger increases in annual participation rates & walk/bike rates from our first annual trend report (Attachment J). Initial data from Fall 2016 also shows that the percent of TT participants getting dropped off in a family car is the lowest it’s ever been. Expecting these positive trends continue, our main challenge is to maximize participation and trend multi-year data. Providing more advanced statistical evaluation of the long-term behavior change effects of the program supports institutionalizing the walk/bike culture at schools.
b) Project Measurement: i. Process Evaluation: Registration & participation goals are based on each school’s tenure in
the program. TT staff works monthly with school teams to meet goals (Attachment O) and to support/track participation at Walk/Bike to School events.
ii. Outcome Evaluation: Extensive data on travel behaviors is collected from 3 sources: TT Monthly Trip Reporting Surveys, SRTS Parent Surveys & Travel Tallies. Analysis focuses on what is impacting walking and biking rates at TT schools.
iii. The following data is collected by school for each month/season/semester/year: Total registrants and participants and their corresponding rates based on school size; percentages of students traveling by walk, bike, carpool, bus or a combination thereof; vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduced & CO2 emissions reduced; Active distance traveled (walk/bike/ skate/scoot) & total walk steps taken; total car trips reduced from the total baseline pre-TT number of car trips self-reported by each household at registration; Number of TT website visits and the number of links clicked within the TT Tracks eNewsletters.
c) Long Term Success of SRTS Programming: In Jan. 2017, Boulder County (BC) is moving the grant funded TT Coordinator to a county-funded position, demonstrating the commitment BC has to the program & helping to sustain it. In addition, BC voters, in the recent election, passed the Sustainability Tax. A significant portion of this revenue will fund the TT Program on an ongoing basis from Jan. 2020 through at least 2035. In the interim, outside funding is needed to continue implementation. Programs seeking behavior change are most effective after several years of implementation. The increases seen in registration rates suggest the program is becoming institutionalized within returning schools, but changing the longstanding culture of driving kids to school takes several years of parental conditioning.
d) Long Term Data Use: Dashboard infographics for every TT school & the overall TT program summarize annual results in a way that is accessible to the general public & compelling for school PTOs, administration, & other program partners/supporters (Attachment I). School-to-school competitions are also an information-sharing strategy, specifically designed to sustain program interest throughout the school year. We will also dedicate more attention to encouraging participation during winter & spring to counter the seasonal drops.
e) Key Stakeholder Data Sharing: Dashboards are shared with all School Teams, numerous community partners & local municipality’s public information officers. As a result of our early success, TT was awarded BC’s highest ranking annual award, the Pinnacle Award. This award greatly increased community awareness of the program, in part demonstrated by a growing number of schools and businesses (Attachment L) proactively seeking TT out vs TT staff seeking them out. A video presented at the annual awards ceremony can be see here: http://bit.ly/2gVFzFj Colorado’s Channel 7 News did a story on TT, which can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/h7gvnvu

SECTION 7: Previous SRTS Grants a) Boulder County (BC) Transportation was awarded a non-infrastructure SRTS grant in July,
2015, for $144,608. The original scope of work supported the expansion of the Trip Tracker (TT) program to 6 schools, provided targeted low-income outreach, and funded 4 active neighborhood checklists, 4 bike rodeos, and communications and marketing which increased program visibility. Due to significant new program cost over-estimations, this grant was extended in August 2016 to fund a 2nd full school year, with staff cost being covered by BC as of January 2017. This has allowed for the grant to support 5 schools last year and 7 schools this school year, and provided a total of 6 local bike rodeos and 4 Active School Neighborhood Checklists over the grant’s lifecycle. A non-infrastructure SRTS grant was not awarded in 2015-2016 for $98,107.
b) The 2015 SRTS grant is ongoing & will continue to fund 7 TT schools through June 2017. For each school that has participated since the first full year of TT, 2014-15, a larger proportion of school-based trips are taken by sustainable modes today (Attachment J).
c) SRTS funding expires June 2017, with the TT program remaining funded at the 7 currently participating schools until then, after which point they will be supported by the requested grant funding. The existing 7 schools and 1 new school will be funded under the new grant starting immediately after the grant is awarded.
d) The TT program has been successful in 1) collecting data to demonstrate Registration Rate growth (112%), Participation Rate growth (80%), Total Vehicle Trips reduced (-18,688) and Active Transportation growth (60%) (Attachment J); 2) As the letters of support from each school’s principal and parents will attest (Attachment F), the community has been warmly receptive of the program. We are confident that a culture of active transportation is being institutionalized at each school and in the community at large, as seen by our 3) growth in number of participating TT Businesses (+27%) (Attachment L); 4) school based bike rodeos hosted in previous school years were well-attended (317 participants & volunteers); 5) Active School Neighborhood Checklists processes have yielded numerous potential future projects, both infrastructure and non-infrastructure related. The use of additional data collected from SRTS Parent Surveys & Travel Tallies, coupled with Trip Tracker data, has been very informative in guiding the program changes and improvements, especially regarding data collection and individualizing school efforts.
e) The TT program is intended as an ongoing program & will never be “completed” per se, but instead it will continue to institutionalize a change in transporation habits to and from school. As such, it is designed as a multi-year behavior change program. BC has already diversified its funding sources by 1) securing future sales tax revenue to fully fund the program when those funds become available in 2020; 2) Starting in 2017, when the TT Manager is County funded, efforts to secure other funding mechanisms will begin, including but not limited to long-term studies, municipal support, selling TT merchandise, fundraising and donation programs; 3) PTOs from each of the current schools have pledged to donate funding to the program at a rate of 5-10% of the total distributed Tracker Bucks at their school from their first/previous year. The program will be completely independently funded by 2020, but in the interim, SRTS funding is necessary to sustain the incredible momentum currently building within our currently participating schools and to ensure the necessary multi-year behavior change efforts are properly evaluated to best understand the true impact of Trip Tracker.

A to be determined external evaluation firm specializing in transportation demand management projects.
b) Previous Work with SRTS
1) Yes, SVVSD School Wellness Coordinator is working on one current SRTS grant and assisted on one previous SRTS grant.
FY 2014 – 2015 Application o SVVSD is currently performing work for the 2015-2017 Trip Tracker SRTS grant. o SVVSD School Wellness Coordinator is currently the Trip Tracker Non-County
Coordinator, which allows the TT program to work with schools that fall outside of Boulder County’s boundaries, and supports overall program efforts. This includes coordination between SVVSD and Boulder County, business recruitment, coordinating dollar distributions and materials deliveries, school and participant recruitment, marketing material creation, overseeing promotion & event assistance.
FY 2011 – 2012 Application o In 2011, the City of Longmont acquired a Safe Routes to School grant in the amount
of $74,690. In the Fall of 2013, SVVSD’s School Wellness Coordinator assisted the Safe Routes to School Coordinator in her efforts to finish grant requirements. Her responsibilities included school outreach and promotion for walk/bike to school days, assisting with event coordination for walk/bike to school days and bike rack dedications, website development and launching, and handling the scheduling and distribution of the bicycle rodeo kit. This grant was completed in December 2013.
2) Completed Project Data:
Trip Tracker, 2015-2017 – available walk/bike change data (Attachments I & J).
LiveWell Longmont, 2011 – currently not available.
3) Proposed Work:
The work that is proposed in this application is similar to the work currently being done by SVVSD’s School Wellness Coordinator. By subcontracting with SVVSD again, we are assuring continuity, while maintaining a strong partnership with the school district.

KEY: Completed Data collected and
awaiting processing Planned
We consider Fall our “Pre-Program” data since it is
collected before trip reporting begins. However, going forward, we hope to collect a season of pre-Program data for new Trip Tracker schools (i.e. in the Spring before they start the program the following Fall).
We will continue to monitor and analyze year-to-year data trends for returning Trip Tracker schools. Collecting four years (2015-16 to 2018-19) of SRTS parent survey and travel tally data will allow us to evaluate the longer-term outcomes of the Trip Tracker Program, and it will help adjust for typical seasonal trends (more walking/biking in the fall months and a drop-off in the winter and spring).
The total number of parent surveys returned was 976 in Fall 2015 and 551 in Spring 2016.
The total number of travel tallies returned was 119 in Fall 2015, 98 in Winter 2016, and 94 in Spring 2016.

Comments can be categorized under multiple subject matters, and, in a few cases, multiple sentiments (if the comment included multiple sentences/thoughts with differing sentiments). The total number of comments received in Spring 2016 was 194.
The surveys are a forum for parents to express their opinions about the school environment, not Trip Tracker specifically, though many of the positive comments are about Trip Tracker.
The one negative comment about the Trip Tracker Program was a complaint about the hassle of remembering to report trips each month. In an effort to address this, we will be testing an opt-in text/app-based reminder system in addition to the current email reminder system that alerts registrants when reporting periods are opening/closing.

Page 2 of 2 The follow
ing charts show Trip Tracker participants’ distribution of trips by travel m
ode. Both the seasonal and year-to-year charts
show an overall decline in the percentage of drive trips (fam
ily vehicles), with m
ost of this decrease being redistributed to increases in bike trips and dual-m
ethod trips. Dual-m
ethod trips happen when participants travel m
ost of the way to/from
school by bus, carpool, or car and then get dropped off at least tw
o blocks from the school to w
alk/bike/skate/scoot the rest of the way. Tracking the
dual-method trip options helps encourage fam
ilies who live far aw
ay from the schools (a very large proportion of fam
ilies at many of
the TT schools) to participate in the program and contribute to the goal of reducing cars in and around school pick-up/drop-off areas
while also increasing student physical activity.

100 Mile Clubs – before and after school running clubs Many area schools have available to them a traffic safety coordinator through one of the
local municipalities (Longmont, CO), who can provide additional traffic related safety educational presentations. Trip Tracker staff encourages and provides contact information for this great local resource to interested schools
Previous Programs - that have been provided in the past at various TT schools:
Walk & Roll or Walk & Wheel programs. Boltage (formerly Freiker) is a program that encourages kids to walk and bike to school. Classroom level or school level bike safety instruction Infrastructure projects related to safety improvements (prior to Trip Tracker).

Step-by-step outline of the Trip Tracker Program’s operations/logistics
All aspects of the online processes are available on the Trip Tracker Website: www.BoCoTripTracker.com
1. Students (with help from adults) and staff register online for Trip Tracker (Figure 1). 2. Monthly eNewsletters with participation info and walk/bike/transit educational tips are
provided to all registered households the first school day of each school year month. This alerts households to the opening and closing of each reporting period and includes educational tips, event and business partner information, as well as links to access online trip reporting and optional paper tracking calendars. All are available on the website.
3. Program registrants track their trips to and from school each day using our optional print-out tracking calendars for each month, English and Spanish (Figure 2) or they can track trips using any method they choose.
4. Program registrants participate in the program (Figure 4) by reporting their trips monthly using the online Trip Reporting form, indicating their actual travel behavior to/from school for the prior month (Figure 3). Online trip reporting is open for the first full school week each month.
5. Data is processed and compiled by TT staff after the reporting period closes, resulting in the distribution & acknowledgement of participation encouragement rewards, called Tracker Bucks, by each school’s 2-3 parent volunteers.
6. School-based monthly progress reports (Attachment O) with data and focus areas suggestions are provide to each school team, along with reward are distribution supplies.
7. Participants then spend their Tracker Bucks (Figure 6) at participating locally-owned TT Businesses (Figure 7), which accept Tracker Bucks like real money.
8. TT Staff actively solicit more businesses on a regular basis. The target is to add ~4 new TT Businesses per new TT School. Currently, TT has over 20 businesses.
9. TT Businesses submit for reimbursement of redeemed Tracker Bucks at their convenience and always submit a final invoice to close the school year each June. TT Businesses are reimbursed $0.50 for each Tracker Buck redeemed (Figure 5).

PARTICIPANT
Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)
Q: When does Trip Tracker run? A: The program runs during a school year (August-May), but not in the summer.
Q: What is the schedule each month? A: At the start of each month, registered participants have ~7-10 days to report their trips to Trip Tracker. The following week, Trip Tracker, calculates and prepares participant rewards. Then, over the next week or two, Tracker Buck Distribution Days occur at each school. All occurs with help from parent volunteers. Important dates are published on the website & in the monthly participant e-newsletter (Trip Tracker Tracks), sent to the adult email reported at registration.
Q: What if my child regularly goes to school from two different locations during the month? A: Trip Tracker would like trips reported separately from the two locations because the mileage and transportation mode will likely be different for each location.
Q: If my child walks to the bus can they get active transportation credit for that? A: Yes. The monthly Trip Tracker reporting survey will specifically ask that information.
Q: We only live one block away from school. Can we participate? A: Yes. Participants living within 2 blocks of the school and report trips, are not eligible for the active mileage bonus, but can still count total trips.
Q: Does taking my three children to school count as a carpool? A: No. We define carpools as multi-family. If you need any help with finding a carpool match, please contact us so we may be of assistance. Another way to allow your family to participate is to drop them off at least 2 blocks from school and walk in. These trips can be reported as part car, part walk trips when reporting.
Q: I drop them off at school on my way to work. Is there some way they can still participate? A: Yes. Every trip that your child makes to or from school that involves at least 2 blocks of walking, can be counted. So, if you drive them, you can let them out a few blocks away from school and let them walk. Consider having them meet a friend there so they can take advantage of the opportunity to 'walk & talk'. These trips can be reported as part car, part walk trips when reporting.
Attachment L: How Trip Tracker Works / FAQs - Figure 4
PARTICIPANT FAQ Continued
Q: Will a participating business accept my child’s Tracker Bucks from me? Is it okay if I buy them from her and then use them myself? A: It’s up to the business, but we don’t have any problem with big people using Tracker Bucks. It’s become pretty normal. Visit our website for any potential restrictions on spending.
Q: Will you trade me ‘new’ bucks for expired bucks? A: No, because it is unaffordable for the program. Our budgeting accounts for unspent Tracker Bucks - for various reasons: lost bucks, forgotten/unspent bucks, bucks not picked up in the first place.
Q: What if my child is out sick or missing when Tracker Bucks are distributed at school? How do they get them? A: Tracker Bucks are sent home in the school folders on scheduled week (dates available online). If a weekly folder is missed being picked up on the scheduled distribution date, the rewards will still be in the folder whenever it goes home next. Occasionally Tracker Bucks are sent home a week late, as the parent volunteers and/or school staff helping to distribute the rewards are human and “things happen”. If you need help finding a reward, please contact Trip Tracker.
Q: Do I really have to keep track of this? Can’t my kids do it instead? A: Sure, have your children be responsible for keeping track of their trips. Since this is a self-reporting system, we would like you to take a look at what they record to keep it honest and accurate.
Q: What’s to keep kids from adding trips they didn't make or parents from giving inflated numbers? A: Our intent is to have Trip Tracker be as fair as possible within the limitations of a self-reporting system. Our experience is that parents want to model honesty for their children and will encourage them to only record actual trips.

TRIP TRACKER
When participants carpool, ride the bus, bike, skate,
scoot, or walk to school, they earn Tracker Bucks to
spend at participating local businesses. When you
are with Trip Tracker, your business benefits!
What it is: Trip Tracker (TT) is a program that engages staff & students (with help from their parents) to reduce vehicle traffic at schools and in surrounding neighborhoods.
How it works: One Tracker Buck = One US Dollar
Green Trip = one way trip made by a method other than a single family vehicle between home and school. Ex. Walk, Bike, Bus, Carpool, etc…
Each month, participants trackand report to TT their green trips.Then they receive Tracker Bucksfor that month’s green trips.
Participants can only spendTracker Bucks at TT Businesses.
TT Businesses invoice BoulderCounty TransportationDepartment for the TrackerBucks they receive.
Boulder County reimburses TTBusinesses $0.50 on the dollar.
Get Involved: Trip Tracker is a community-based, collaborative program promoting environmental and physical health. Tracker Bucks must be spent at locally owned TT Businesses.
Trip Tracker is good for your business-and it’s good for our community.
Provides business visibility.
TT participants receive a new TT Business list each month and can search the website for participating businesses.
Expands customer base.
TT is a great way to introduce new patrons to your business, and it brings in the bucks. Kids usually bring adults with them when they spend Tracker Bucks, who also buy things too. Adults earn Tracker Bucks too and need places to shop.
Highlights community.
TT Businesses receive point of purchase and/or window clings, so all shoppers and community members know you’re part of the TT program, as well as, free marketing through various media.

Sample PTO Ask Language:
“We would like to ask the PTOs of the returning schools for a small financial contribution to the Trip Tracker program to demonstrate parental support for continuing the program this next school year. We are asking for 5-10% of what your school’s participants earned throughout the prior school year. For your school that amounts to $?-$?. Keep in mind that Trip Tracker is a free program to participating schools. Your contribution will be used for Trip Tracker related expenses. There are certain expenses that grant money does not cover, such as school-to-school competitions and parent volunteer support and recognition, which are important to the program’s success. Your contribution also helps us leverage future funding, as we can show funders there is commitment from the school’s parents to help the program continue, helping us build a more sustainable program.”
We are very excited that you have decided to apply to become a Trip Tracker School in the 2016-2017School Year!
We are applying for a grant and expect to have the capacity to expand the program to at least two newschools. We are also considering setting up a baseline school to further look at the effectiveness of the TripTracker program. This school would be surveyed a few times during the 2016-17 school year to evaluatetravel patterns. In the 2017-18 school year, they would formally join the Trip Tracker program. Please let usknow if you are interested in starting off as a baseline school or a Trip Tracker school. More information willbe provided before any decisions about participation is made.
Thank you for your interest in TripTracker!

Great job, Trip Tracker Team Members, for completing the first Tracker Buck distribution round last month! Let the fun continue!!
If any incorrect information is found on your participant list/tickets (or elsewhere) and you can help provide the correct information
to TT staff, that would be very helpful! Please contact the program with any questions &/or feedback.
Also, expect your counts to change each month, especially as new and returning families countinue to update their Trip Tracker
