About Us
The School Traffic Safety Committee (STSC) was created in 1975 to bring together Seattle Public Schools, the City, and parents to improve safe routes to school. The committee reviews and recommends new school crosswalk locations, crossing guard assignments, criteria for placement of crossing guards, and traffic circulation plans for redeveloped schools.
