Safe Passage addresses District student and school safety concerns, especially as students arrive and depart from school. Five areas were established as safe passage priority areas for School Year 2017–18 with an additional area added in February 2018. 

On May 15, 2019 the DME and KIPP DC hosted 200+ students from across the city to share their safe passage ideas. The event informed SY 2019-20 investments and led to commitments from education and safety public agencies. Watch the video here!

The Safe Passage Interactive Map shows the locations of the safe passage priority areas, as well as public schools, DDOT school crossing guards, and public transportation within each area. Use this tool to plan the safest route to school for your student!
