Transportation Safety Advisory Committee

The Transportation Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) is a district-appointed group that helps ensure students have safe and practical routes to and from school. 

Purpose 

The TSAC’s primary responsibilities include: 

• Reviewing and recommending safe walking routes to schools. 
• Evaluating and making recommendations for requests related to hazardous walking conditions. 
• Serving as an appeal board for families requesting bus stop or route reviews. 
• Supporting traffic and pedestrian safety planning at school sites. 
• Collaborating with city and county officials to promote consistent community-wide safety measures 

Membership 

The TSAC is composed of 13 members, including: 

• Four community members 
• Three school principals (two elementary, one secondary) 
• Six district staff members representing Transportation, Risk Management, Facilities Planning, and Instructional Leadership 
• Additional non-voting resource members participate as needed 

Review Process 

When families submit a bus stop or route change request citing safety concerns, the TSAC reviews the location and conditions—considering factors such as traffic flow, road crossings, lighting, and distance—to determine if transportation adjustments or safety improvements are warranted.
