IN CLASS STUDENT TALLY <br /> The planning team oversaw the administration of the in-class student tally which is intended to provide the LPT <br /> with baseline data regarding how many students are currently walking or bicycling to school. <br /> The in-class student tally is a form distributed to educators that is intended to be administered in class by tallying <br /> students via a raised hand.The Tally directs educators to ask students how they arrived at and departed from <br /> school i.e.,which mode of transportation they utilized for both trips.The tally is intended to be administered over <br /> a three consecutive day period in order to eliminate variability and obtain an accurate average count.Additionally, <br /> the LPT determined that the tally should be administered on a Tuesday, Wednesday,and a Thursday to further <br /> avoid variability associated with students'schedules on Mondays and Fridays. The complete In-Class Student Tally <br /> results can be found in Appendix A. <br /> PARENT SURVEY <br /> The planning team oversaw the administration of the parent survey which is intended to provide insight into why <br /> parents allow or don't allow their students to walk or bike to or from school,which barriers prevent them,and to <br /> identify other opportunities to improve walking and bicycling.The surveys that were used were designed by the <br /> National Center for SRTS and asked respondents to answer 16 questions.A copy of the survey and the complete <br /> survey responses can be found in Appendix B. <br /> The parent survey,which was conducted mostly online, but hardcopies were also made available at public <br /> locations throughout the community and yielded a good response rate.The input from the parent survey <br /> provided crucial information regarding issues and barriers to walking and biking to and from school. <br /> COMMUNITY WALKING AUDIT/SITE ASSESSMENTS <br /> The planning team conducted walking audits around each of the school sites to further determine issues and <br /> barriers as well as to begin thinking about potential solutions to improve student's ability to safely walk or bike to <br /> and from school.The input from the walk audit proved invaluable to the planning team in determining where <br /> issues and barriers exist and in determining potential solutions. <br /> 8 I Minnesota Safe Routes to School Ili <br />
