I *M113111ra SCOPE OF SERVICES Conduct City of San Leandro Safe Routes to School (SRTS) project with 4 E's 1. Education Elementary School Program A multifaceted approach will be used to accomplish the goals of educating elementary school students and parents about pedestrian and bicycle safety as ways to commute to and from school safely. Part 1: Student Workshops Workshops will be conducted for students in each for grade level in ten (10) elementary schools. Students will participate in demonstrations that include how bicycling and walking are effective modes of locomotion and promote where they can get to on your own power as well as how they can decrease air pollution, make the community safer and get physically fit. The program will also address their own perceptions and reactions to hazards created by vehicles. Students will perform in role playing exercises consisting of bicyclists, pedestrians and drivers to simulate "real -life" traffic conditions and hazards. The interactive lesson plans are designed to accommodate the abilities; cognitive learning skills of each grade level and are relevant to the diverse school communities. Bicycles, traffic signs, traffic signals and a miniature cityscape are set up in the workshop to simulate a traffic environment for students to interact with. Workshops include the following topics: • Bicycle safety • Pedestrian safety • Skills necessary to make smart choices in traffic • Recognition and avoidance of common traffic collisions • California Vehicle Code laws and regulations • Use of bike racks, bike lanes, bike paths, bike trails • Explanation of traffic environment (infrastructure) • Understanding of driver, pedestrian and bicyclist behaviors • School transportation /traffic policies (pick up and drop off procedures) • Explanation of the suggested safe routes to schools • Importance of bicycling and walking for physical fitness • Effects of walking and bicycling to a cleaner environment • Hot spots to and from school (crime, gang activity, bullies, food vendors) Part 2: School Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Rodeo The school pedestrian and bicycle safety rodeo course is an interactive exercise that allows students to learn about safety by walking and bicycling through a miniature city. The miniature city consists of streets, sidewalks, intersections, crosswalks, traffic signals, traffic signs, residential areas, business districts, cars, trucks, buses and a railroad track with signals, crossing gate and train. The miniature city is designed to simulate the diverse traffic environments in the city of San Leandro and to create "problem solving" experiences for each grade level. Under the supervision of staff, students will walk and /or ride a bicycle through the miniature city while trying to avoid over twenty (20) traffic hazards.
