What Are Safe Routes to School?

The Maricopa Association of Governments Safe Routes to School Program consists of providing resources for schools and municipalities to administer Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiatives and activities such as:

  • Crossing Guard Training Workshops
  • Programming of Transportation Alternatives SRTS federal aid funding
  • Administration of SRTS Studies Projects

This is an opportunity to work closely with your school, your community, and your local government to create a healthy lifestyle for children and a safer, cleaner environment for everyone.

Crossing Guard Workshops

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) works with cities and towns to improve road safety in the region. Crossing Guard Workshops provide basic education and training to school crossing guards. All K-8 schools may utilize this workshop to train their school crossing guards. The responsibility remains with each school for hiring, training, and defining when and where crossing guards are to be on duty.

2026 Crossing Guard Training

In an effort to provide consistent, high-quality training that is available year-round, the annual Crossing Guard Training workshops have transitioned to an online platform. The new platform includes updated training videos and materials that crossing guards can access at their convenience. While the content continues to cover the basic education and training for school crossing guards, it is presented in a refreshed and reorganized format. This online platform replaces the in-person workshops moving forward. Please access the updated crossing guard training and materials at azmag.gov/Crossing-Guard-Training.
