Waynesboro to launch Safe Routes to School project
The City of Waynesboro and Central Shenandoah Valley Office on Youth, in partnership with Waynesboro Public Schools, has been awarded a Safe Routes to School grant through the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The grant will cover the cost to create a new part-time Safe Routes to School coordinator and also purchase bicycles and educational materials.
The city’s four elementary schools – Berkeley Glenn, Wenonah, Westwood Hills and William Perry – and Kate Collins Middle School will receive additional $1,000 mini-grants to support the program.
“The Safe Routes to School Grant will enable the Office on Youth and Waynesboro Schools to foster opportunities for movement for our youth, increase community understanding of safe routes in our community, and teach our students about bicycle and pedestrian safety,” said Ryan Barber, the executive director of student services at Waynesboro Public Schools.
The Safe Routes to School program aims to make it safer for students to walk and bike to school and encourage more walking and biking where safety is not a barrier.
The program also helps communities facilitate the planning, development and implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution near schools.
“While our community has sponsored Walk to School Week for many years, the grant will enable the Office on Youth and Waynesboro Schools to expand our health and wellness focus throughout the entire school year. My hope is that walking and biking will be viewed as viable options on a daily basis throughout our community,” Barber said.
About Safe Routes to School
VDOT's Safe Routes to School Program assists interested localities and schools in the development of plans, activities, and infrastructure improvements to make bicycling and walking to school a safe and appealing transportation option for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Waynesboro Parks and Recreation VRPS Award
Over 500 delegates from around the state gathered last week at the 64th Annual Conference of the Virginia Recreation and Park Society held in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The conference is a learning exchange and provides an opportunity for recreation and park professionals to discuss areas of common interest.
Highlighting each year’s conference is a formal presentation of awards. This state-wide program honors individuals, departments and organizations throughout Virginia who have demonstrated excellence in any of several areas during the previous year. 115 applications were received vying for awards in 14 different categories. Judged by a jury of its peers, Waynesboro Parks and Recreation received an award in the Best New Renovation/Addition (Bricks and Mortar-population 25,000 and under) category for the Rosenwald Community Center Teen Room.
A big thanks to the Community Foundation, the Central Shenandoah Health District, Comcast, Shenandoah Office on Youth, and Parks and Recreation maintenance staff for all of your support to make the much needed changes.
The teen room is open to middle and high school students, Mondays-Thursdays from 3:30-8pm, and on Fridays from 3:30-6pm.

The Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (SAWMPO) is taking public input to the streets with a series of pop-up meetings to learn about residents’ transportation needs and priorities in our region. The input will inform the SAWMPO’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which prioritizes transportation projects for funding over the next 25-years. They have also put together an online survey so you can give input without attending a meeting:
