School program uses education, encouragement, infrastructure and enforce-
ment strategies to help make walking and bicycling to school safer and more
attractive to children; and
WHEREAS, a successful Safe Routes to School program involves schools,
school boards, citizens and local government to collaborate to enable and
encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to
school safely; and
WHEREAS, Safe Routes to School projects provide important health, safety,
and environmental benefits for children, including reducing risk of obe-
sity/chronic disease and pedestrian/bicycle injuries as well as improving air
quality;
