Crossing Guards

The City of Cupertino contracts with All City Management Services, Inc. to provide crossing guard services for students getting to and from school. 

How are guards funded?

Funding for crossing guard services is provided by the City's general fund, with additional contributions from the Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD) and Cupertino Union School District (CUSD). In total, these funds cover the cost of 16 crossing guards.

How are crossing guard locations determined?

The City's Transportation Division conducts crossing guard warrant studies approximately every two years to determine the best locations for crossing guard services. Locations are ranked according to number of pedestrians, pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and traffic evaluation. Crossing guards are then placed at the highest-ranking locations following discussions with the City’s partners at CUSD and FUHSD.

How can I request a crossing guard?

For more information, or to request that a location be studied for crossing guard services, contact saferoutes@cupertino.gov. Your location will be included for evaluation in the next warrant study, anticipated in fall 2024.
