School Zone Research

The goal of this research is to evaluate cost-effective, quickly deployable, and scalable solutions for designing school speed zones across Minnesota, using the Duluth Public School District as a case study. This project aims to enhance student safety, reduce traffic-related injuries near schools, and increase the number of students walking and biking as part of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program.
