OH SB51

Department of Transportation director must create a survey in coordination with the safe routes to school program regarding school transportation safety policies and nonmotorized transportation options for students living within two miles of their school.

All city, local, exempted village, and joint vocational school districts, community schools under Chapter 3314, and STEM schools under Chapter 3326 must complete and return the survey by a date specified by the director.

Community and STEM schools are exempt from the survey requirement if no students attending the school live within two miles of the school location.

Survey may collect information on school building locations and student percentages within two miles, transportation safety programs, safety and traffic studies completed, student transportation mode surveys, and other factors the director determines appropriate.

Director must compile survey findings and publish them on the Department of Transportation website within ninety days of the bill's effective date.
