The Sun Corridor MPO in partnership with the City of Eloy is developing a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Study for the City that will examine and assess the extent of potential road safety issues for school children walking and biking to school. The scope of the study includes the development and evaluation of options that will result in recommendations that involve the five E’s: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation programs.
The study will include data collection and safety assessments on school sites as well as in the public right-of-way for routes that school children walk or bike to school. There may be recommendations made to
the City of Eloy for roadway improvements, or to school districts for on-site improvements that can be made to improve the safety of K-12 students walking and biking to school. The recommendations can be used by both local agencies and school districts to prioritize and leverage future funding. This Study will include all public schools within the City of Eloy planning area.
The study started in May 2026 and is expected to be completed in early 2027.
