We joined @SFUnified, @SFMTA_Muni, @walksf, @SFSafeRoutes, District 11 Board Member Chyanne Chen, students, teachers, families, and community partners to celebrate Walk and Roll to School Week at Guadalupe Elementary School. 🚶🚲🛴🛹🛼 The program encourages students to walk, bike, roll, and take transit to school while promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable ways to get around. We’re proud to provide more than $8M across four years through regional grants and Prop L #SFTransportationTax to support Safe Routes to School, walking and rolling school buses, and other programs that help students get to school safely. This past April, the Transportation Authority approved prioritizing $5.8 million in new OBAG Cycle 4 funds, along with $851,000 in additional Prop L sales tax funds, to ensure the stability of the Safe Routes to School Non-Infrastructure program from July 2027 through September 2030. 📷 Photos by SFMTA Photography
