Over the past 12 months Trenton Public School District, in conjunction with community partners: Trenton Police Department (TPD), Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association (GMTMA), and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) collaborated and engaged in a process to identify safe routes to each of our schools from kindergarten through eighth grade. A study of residency trends was reviewed to identify the most densely populated areas within the respective catchment area of each school and was used to determine starting points for each suggested route. Most elementary schools, all intermediate and middle schools have at least one suggested route beginning from a specific location within the school’s catchment area. Members of the TPD supported the initiative and provided insight to ensure the children walked along the safest streets in our city and committed to being vigilant by keeping a ‘watchful eye’ on WSB routes during morning and afternoon hours. TPD has been provided with a copy of the routes and worked to ensure all crossing guard posts along the various routes were staffed.
