Each morning and afternoon during the school year, hundreds<br />
of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and buses converge on school<br />
property in a 15- to 30-minute window. In Cook County, nearly<br />
15% of morning traffic is created by trips to school. The amount<br />
of traffic and congestion at a school during arrival and dismissal<br />
time greatly impacts parents’ perception of safety. <strong>School</strong>s with<br />
more congestion are perceived to be less safe, which causes more<br />
parents to drive, creating less safe conditions.<br />
The <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> addresses the needs of<br />
