Earlier this year, Garden City was awarded a planning and programming grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Kansas Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Over the next few months, the City of Garden City and Garden City Public Schools will be working with the Kansas Department of Transportation to create our new SRTS plan. The plan will include policy, program, and project recommendations to make walking, biking, and rolling to school safer and more enjoyable.
