notified mid-August 2008.
With your participation, Safe Routes to School
can reach our goals of:
-
enabling and encouraging children, including
those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle
to school
-
making bicycling and walking to school a
safer and more appealing transportation
alternative, thereby encouraging a healthy
and active lifestyle from an early age
-
facilitating the planning, development, and
implementation of projects and activities
that will improve safety and reduce traffic
and fuel consumption in the vicinity
(approximately 2 miles) of primary and
middle schools (Grades K-8)
