TITLE: Donation of Safe Routes to Schools Bicycles & Bicycle Equipment to Weld RE -8 School District and
Town of Windsor Parks and Recreation Department
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT DATE: April 9, 2021
PERSON REQUESTING: Mark Lawley, Executive Director
Brief description of the problem/issue:
For the Board's review and approval is a proposal to donate a fleet of used bicycles to the Town of Windsor's
Parks and Recreation Department, and the Weld RE -8 School District.
In 2016, WCDPHE obtained a grant from the CDOT Safe Routes to Schools program to purchase 30 bicycles,
a trailer, and related helmets and equipment. This equipment was used to educate elementary school aged
children in how to safely ride a bicycle. For five (5) years this program has been in operation. However, as
hundreds of eager children have used the bicycles, they are showing signs of wear. The bicycles need on-
going maintenance or outright replacement.
Due to a number of issues, including using staff time to haul the bicycles and trailer to school events, obtaining
liability waivers, and the ongoing costs of maintenance or replacement, WCDPHE is proposing to donate half
of the bicycles to the Windsor Parks and Recreation Department and the other half to Weld RE -8 School
District. WCDPHE will keep the enclosed trailer for the use and benefit of the Health Department.
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
If Weld County decides to keep the twenty-nine (29) bicycles (one bicycle of the original 30 is too damaged to
ride), the County will incur ongoing maintenance costs of about $7,000.00 annually; or complete replacement
of the bicycles of about $13,000.00.
By donating these bicycles, the Health Department will not need to be continually maintaining or replacing the
bicycles. It also may be more practical that the local community groups handle the issue of bicycle
maintenance or replacement and the original intent of the program will continue in Weld communities.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of this donation to the Town of Windsor Parks & Rec and Weld RE -
8 School District.

PASS -AROUND REVIEW/ WORK SESSION REQUEST
RE: Request to Apply for Safe Routes to School Grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT DATE: October 28, 2014
PERSON REQUESTING: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH, Executive Director
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program focuses on making it safer for children to bicycle and walk to and from
school. Typically, these programs are built on collaborative partnerships among many stakeholders that include
ed:icators, parents, students, city planners, business and community leaders, health officials, and bicycle and pedestrian
advocates_. Students who walk or bicycle to and from school are getting a much -needed dose of physical activity each
morning and afternoon. Walking one mile to and from school equals forty minutes of physical activity —two-thirds of the
recommended daily level of physical activity for children, thus reducing their obesity risk. In 40 years, the percentage of
children walking or biking to/from school has fallen from 48% in 1969 to 13% in 2009. Weld County data indicates that
approximately 20.4% of students 15 years old or younger bike, walk or skateboard to school. In addition, research shows
that. active.children tend to have better academic achievement, enhanced concentration, and better classroom behavior.
The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment ("WCDPHE") is requesting permission to apply for the
FYI 201.5 Safe Routes to School (non -infrastructure) grant due November 14, 2014. WCDPHE seeks to build SRTS
capacity by providing project coordination while creating a bike fleet that can be utilized throughout the county for on-
going bike rodeos. Bicycle Colorado will provide on -site train -the -trainer workshops for teachers, staff and community
members in Greeley -Evans and Ft. Lupton. Current limited efforts will be maintained and coupled with expanded
education (walk/bike challenges, additional bike rodeos and family fun rides); outreach efforts to adults and children; and
technical assistance provided to each school in establishing walking school bus/bike train programs overlaid with remote
drop-off zones. No new FTE will be requested.
What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options)
Declining this opportunity to apply for this grant will result in less SRTS capacity being built within Weld County schools
and school districts and. the potential loss to Weld County of $70,985 in funding from the State General Fund via the
Colorado Department of Transportation ("CDOT").
Approval of this request to apply for the SRTS grant will also provide funding to WCDPHE staff to act as a technical
resource to two Weld school districts so they also can apply for SRTS funding from CDOT. The main project outcome is
to increase the number and percentage of students walking/biking to/from school, resulting in improved health.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of this request to apply for the Safe Routes to School grant through the
Colorado Department of Transportation.

from all funding sources, that are defined as federal financial assistance for Single Audit Act Amendment
purposes, shall comply with the audit requirements of Supercircular 2 CFR 200, subpart F 200.501 and
OMB A-133 Subpart B. The Single Audit Act Amendment requirements that apply to Sub -Grantees
receiving federal funds are as follows:
a) If the Sub -Grantee expends less than $750,000" in Federal funds (all federal sources, not just
Highway funds) in its fiscal year then this requirement does not apply. This threshold increased with
fiscal years starting on 12/26/14 or later.
b) If the Sub -Grantee expends more than $750,000* in Federal funds, but only received federal
Highway funds (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, CFDA 20.205) then a program specific audit
shall be performed. This audit will examine the "financial" procedures and processes for this
program area.

c) If the Sub -Grantee expends more than $750,000* in Federal funds, and the Federal funds are from
multiple sources (FTA, HUD, NPS, etc.) then the Single Audit Act applies, which is an audit on the
entire organization/entity.
d) Single Audit can only be conducted by an independent CPA, not by an auditor on staff.

Colorado Safe Routes Non -infrastructure Application
FY 2015
SECTION 1: Existing Conditions - What is the Problem?
a. Environments that allow children to walk/bike safely to school will improve academic and
health outcomes for children. As much as 20 percent of morning traffic is generated by parents
driving their children to school. It's a vicious cycle: the more traffic there is, the more parents
decide it is unsafe for their children and opt to drive them. Increasingly, schools are sited at the
edges of town. When coupled with school of choice, fewer students live within two miles of their
school. All of these factors result in less children walking and biking to/from school.
b. Crash data/traffic counts — Crashes are not directly affecting the proposed schools. School
drop-off congestion is present at each site and is proving challenging. Platteville and Ft. Lupton
have highway crossings (Hwy 66 and Hwy 52) which are dangerous and problematic.

d. Schools were selected based on a variety of criteria, including school type (e.g., middle or
elementary), geographic diversity, ethnic diversity, percentage of low-income students, and the
readiness of the principal and/or district wellness team to support the pilot.
e. All schools have participated in Walk -to -School and Bike -to -School day activities in the past.
Participation in these scheduled events varies by school from low to moderate. Biking and
walking education is not currently integrated into the physical education curricula at any of the
schools. The Ft. Lupton school district provides written walking and biking safety rules to each
family at the start of new school year. This practice will be maintained and adopted by Greeley
and Platteville. The Ft. Lupton Police Department has assisted with bike rodeos for the
community in the past. For the District 6 schools, upgraded crosswalks and school zones ensure
which will be incorporated into the designated routes for these schools. Platteville is in
discussion with CDOT on crosswalk improvements across Hwy 66.

SECTION 2. Tell us about your project.
a. The goals of the Building SRTS Capacity in Weld County program are to 1) increase the
number of children bicycling and walking to/from school, 2) identify infrastructure around the
schools in order to calm traffic and promote alternative and active forms of transportation, and 3)
improve safety around the schools by increasing knowledge of traffic laws and safety strategies.
Over time, we hope to institutionalize SRTS program activities within agencies and
organizations countywide and secure funding to sustain support of the SRTS program.
b. By encouraging fun events and education activities, we hope to raise the appeal, convenience
and safety of walking/biking to/from school for the development of active, healthy children. Our
project will be school- and community -based establishing new pilot programs focusing on
children in Kindergarten through 51h grade plus one Ft. Lupton middle school. WCDP}IE seeks
to build SRTS capacity by providing project coordination while creating a bike fleet that can be
utilized throughout the county for on -going bike rodeos. Bicycle Colorado will provide on -site
train -the -trainer workshops for teachers, staff and community members in Greeley -Evans, Ft.
Lupton and Platteville. Each participating school currently supports Walk- and Bike -to -School
days annually, while Ft. Lupton has conducted community bike rodeos previously. These
established efforts will be maintained and coupled with expanded education (walk/bike
challenges, additional bike rodeos and family fun rides); outreach efforts to adults and children;
and technical assistance provided to each school in establishing walking school bus/bike train
programs overlaid with remote drop-off zones. School specific accessible safe routes will be
identified and maps developed. Parents will receive program promotional information,
invitations to community bike rodeos and family fun rides, and safety information.
c. Collaboratively we will decrease vehicular congestion at school drop-off by establishing
walking school buses, bike trains and/or remote drop off programs coordinated with an existing
crossing guard program and distribution of safety information. All efforts will be supported by
increased educational opportunities, such as Walk-to-School/Bike-to-School days, extended
walk/bike challenges, bike rodeos, and family fun rides which bridge the summer.
d. Our project will implement best practice educational and encouragement activities at each
school to increase the number of children walking/biking to/from school; while transforming
organizational and community social norms which may constrain walking and biking to/from
school. We want to make it safer, easier and more convenient to walk/bike to/from school.
e. Parental education and outreach will include distributing SRTS material through Back -to -
School nights, school open houses, school health fairs, school newsletters, etc. Invitations to
through community promotional activities. SRTS events and activities will be incorporated into
district and school websites and event calendars when possible_ Parents will be recruited to
establish and support walking school buses, bike trains and the remote drop-off zones.
WCDPHE will work with each district's wellness policy team to incorporate SRTS guidance and
parameters within their wellness policies.

SECTION 5: How will you measure your success?
a) Identify your anticipated project outcomes:
WCDPHE wants to build SRTS capacity through the development of a bike fleet and training of
school district personnel, community members and partnering organizations to benefit other
Weld school districts in the future. At each school, we hope to increase the percentage of
children walking or biking to/from school by 25% while implementing walking school
buses/bike trains overlaid with remote drop-off zones. Encouragement activities will include
Walk- and Bike -to -School day events, bike rodeos, and family fun rides.
b) Describe how you will measure your project's impact and effectiveness:
In the fall and following spring, the student travel tally and parent surveys will be implemented
by school staff, district staff and project partners in order to assess project outcomes.
The project will collect the following data:
• Total number of students reached by our project,
• Percentage of students biking to/from school,
• Percentage of students walking to/from school,
• Percentage of students being bused to/from school,
• Percentage of students being driven by parent/guardian to/from school,
• Number of students/children participating in bike rodeos, and
• Number of students/children and family members participating in family fun rides.
c) Describe how you plan to ensure the long-term success of Safe Routes to School:
Project staff and partnering organizations will support the formation of school -based or district -
based wellness teams directing healthy eating and active living strategies within schools. Project
staff will work with District 6 and RE1 to adopt SRTS language into their district wellness
policy. After establishment of the bike fleet, joint use agreement and procedural rules, other
Weld County school districts will be able to check out the bike fleet for on -going bicycle
education. WCDPHE will seek additional funding sources to further build SRTS capacity and
programming, utilizing the data and lessons learned from the project.
d) How are you going to work with your data after the project is completed:
Data from surveys will be analyzed and shared with the schools, school districts, municipalities
and other grant partners via school and district web pages, school parent newsletters, partner
meetings and press releases. Survey fmdings will complement the County's Community Health
Improvement Plan (CHIP) to maintain active living as a viable strategy throughout Weld County.
WCDPHE will work with each school district during the project period to establish plans for
sustalnaflllltv gnu/or t0asslstc c C 'n scuctog actclhional tundmg raseci on me pmiect
data.
e) What type of information -sharing will you do as a follow-up to your project:
Going forward WCDPHE and TAB will be responsible for tracking and reporting the number
and type of events where the bike fleet is being utilized. Each entity borrowing the bike fleet
will be asked to complete and submit an event usage summary and basic evaluation form.
Marketing and promotional information for the bike fleet will need to be developed based on this
information and data.

We will contract Bicycle Colorado to provide their Safe Routes to School education program and
to help us establish an encouragement program that we can continue into the future.
b) Has your subcontractor ever performed work on another project funded by a CDOT SRTS
grant?
Bicycle Colorado has been involved in numerous Safe Routes to School CDOT grants. A
complete list of all their projects, years, schools and funding amounts is attached — see Appendix
5. They also provided us with answers for the three questions below.
1) Briefly summarize all SRTS grant funded projects on which you have performed work.
From 2006 to the end of the 2014-2015 school year, Bicycle Colorado will have provided
bicycle and pedestrian programs to 164 schools and directly taught more than 75,000
students for a cumulative contract amount of $1,190,723. Key activities include teaching
bicycle and pedestrian programs, training PE teachers and community advocates,
establishing mobile bike fleets for ongoing education, working with schools and parents
to design and implement sustainable encouragement programs and sharing expertise on
best practices. Please see Appendix 5 for historical details.
2) For all completed projects, please provide data documenting changes in number of
students walking or biking to school.
As a subcontractor (or partner with other subcontractors), Bicycle Colorado provides
specific education and encouragement services. We may assist with data collection, but
ultimately the grantees conduct all pre -and post -program parent surveys and student
travel tallies. Those data are included in grantees final reports to CDOT. We can provide
anecdotal evidence of positive trends from Jeffco, Grand Junction, Englewood, Littleton
0— ip will the Work propose- m this application be similar to your previoithSKTS
programs?
For this grant, Bicycle Colorado will be helping teachers and community members grow
their capacity for spearheading SRTS efforts. They will provide four on -site train -the -
trainer workshops in the two participating school districts (Greely-Evans and Fort
Lupton). This is different than many of their other grants where they also provide the
education and encouragement programming.

Weld County Receives Colorado Safe Routes to School Funding
Weld County, Colorado —Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment (WCDPHE) was
awarded $84,060 recently by the Colorado Department of Transportation's Colorado Safe
Routes to School (SRTS) program to encourage more children to walk and bike to school.
Childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the past 30 years while the number of
children walking and biking to school has declined. According to the 2009 National Household
Travel Survey, less than 13 percent of students between the ages of 5 and 15 walked or biked to
or from school, compared to 42 percent in 1969. Recent national research results from school
districts shows that SRTS education and encouragement programs can increase walking and
biking rates by 5% per year and building crosswalks, sidewalks, and other infrastructure near
schools can increase walking and biking by 18%.
The Weld County SRTS funding will benefit six local schools and encourage community
involvement in the effort. "We hope to raise the appeal, convenience and safety of walking and
biking to school for the development of active, healthy children," said Leslie Beckstrom, the
Healthy Eating and Active Living Coordinator of the Weld County Health Department. Bike rodeos,
walking schools buses and remote drop-off zones will be implemented at participating schools.
The Colorado SRTS program received over $16.8 million in federal transportation funds since
fiscal year 2005. One hundred ninety-one schools and communities across Colorado have
received a portion of these funds to help promote walking and biking and to build safer routes
to and from school.
