School Starts Thursday In Milpitas

Expect extra traffic around town and congestion around schools near start and ending times.

MILPITAS, CA — The Milpitas Police Department is reminding residents that the 2016-17 school year starts on Thursday, August 17.

The first week of school brings changes to the daily schedules of many people. This will likely affect the morning and afternoon traffic as people acclimate themselves back into their school year routines.

In order to minimize the traffic impacts, we would like to offer some simple suggestions:
• Use public transportation
• Carpool as much as possible
• Walk or bike to school with classmates
• Plan for additional travel time
• For those going to Milpitas High School, consider using alternate drop-off & pick-up locations, including the loading zone on Jacklin Road and the loading zone on Arizona Avenue, in order to avoid the traffic in front of Milpitas High School.
