people to speed – which has persisted even as traffic levels returned to normal. Increases in unsafe driver behaviors such as substance impaired driving, failure to buckle up and distracted driving are contributing factors. Safe Routes to School Program Relaunched After a pandemic hiatus, GDOT relaunched its Safe Routes to Schools Program in August. The program provides partner schools with communication resources and education materials that encourage children to walk and bike to school. GDOT supportedWalk to School Day events with safety giveaway items, event coordination and educational materials. Draft 2024-2033 Transportation Improvement Program Released NCDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for 2024-2033 is currently in development. Staff are working closely with the state to secure funding for the more than 220 projects awarded in the Greensboro area. The STIP is expected to be finalized by the NC Board of Transportation in 2023. k y R d

In January, a shortage of Guilford County Schools (GCS) bus drivers lead the district to partner with Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA) to get students to schools in Greensboro. GTA provided more than 21,000 rides to students at four Greensboro high schools at no cost to the student for the remainder of the school year. An ongoing partnership with GCS for the coming school year is now in the works. Grant Provides More Electric Buses In March, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the City a $3 million competitive grant to replace outmoded buses with new battery-electric buses. GTA will purchase three buses and charging equipment with the funds. This will increase the percentage of Greensboro’s bus fleet to 35 percent electric.
