Summary
This program will expire from our catalog on February 28, 2017. To ensure you earn credit for the program, you must complete by this date.
Schools are a major community investment and their location influences decisions households make on where to live. This, in turn, can influence regional community development trends and daily travel patterns. Participants will learn about the EPA Smart School Siting Tool developed to help communities implement school siting decisions that emphasize coordination between local government and school siting decision makers, strengthening preferred community development patterns, sustainability, safety, and health. The EPA 2014 Smart School Siting Tool helps communities evaluate whether candidate school sites: are efficiently located with respect to existing population and infrastructure; are coordinated with community planning priorities; and foster active lifestyles and promote community health. The tool also provides a cost calculator to compare capital and operating costs associated with each site’s unique characteristics.
