Village of Antioch Community Travel Plan
The Village of Antioch, supported by the IDOT Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, is creating a plan to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure around our schools. This initiative aims to encourage safe walking and biking while positioning the village for future grants. IDOT data indicates that SRTS programs can significantly increase student walking/biking (35–45%) and drastically reduce pedestrian injuries (45–75%). Beyond safety, these changes promote health and social benefits for students and the entire community. Throughout the planning process, there will be several opportunities for community input and engagement, including an online interactive map, an in-person engagement event, and an online survey. Stay tuned – engagement opportunities will be posted on our webpages and email newsletters!
