Administrators received 108 total surveys relative to a <br />school enrollment of over 650 students. <br />Current Travel Patterns: Mode and Distance <br />The survey results indicate that students who live closer to the school are more likely to arrive on foot. <br />Almost half of respondents who live within a quarter mile and about 10% of respondents who live between <br />one-quarter and one-half mile reported that their children usually walk to/from school. However, none of the <br />respondents who live more than one-half mile away reported that their child usually walks to/from school. <br />Since none of the parents who answered the survey reported that their child usually bikes to school, the <br />parent surveys did not reveal a relationship between bicycling to school and the distance students live from <br />the school. <br />Students who live further from the school are more likely to arrive by school bus, family vehicle, or carpool, <br />according to the survey results. The school bus is the predominant travel mode for children of those who <br />answered the survey, regardless of trip distance. <br />Additionally, more than 90 percent of respondents who live between one-half mile and two miles of the school <br />reported that their children usually take the bus to/from school. Survey responses also indicate that families <br />who live more than two miles from the school are most likely to drive or carpool. Roughly one-third of <br />respondents who live more than two miles from school indicated that their children typically arrived and <br />departed from school via family vehicle or carpool. <br />10 1 Wilshire Park Elementary School Safe Routes to School Plan <br />
