MCDOT's Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) Coordinator Nadji Kirby was part of an international panel on Bike
Safety at the Safe Kids Worldwide Conference held at National Harbor this
summer. Her presentation focused on Montgomery
County’s Safe Routes to School bike safety education program and how various
partnerships have been instrumental to its success.
As SRTS Coordinator, Kirby
collaborates with other County departments, Montgomery County Public Schools,
PTA’s, student groups, and non-profits to develop, promote, and implement
pedestrian and bicycle safety education and encouragement programs. She also
serves as Co-Coordinator for Safe Kids Montgomery County.
The County’s SRTS program also
won two grants through Safe Kids to support this year’s Walk to School Day and
Halloween Safety activities.
