Greetings,
I would like to share three briefs from Active Living
Research<http://www.activelivingresearch.org/> featuring evidence on policies,
programs, and practices that support walking and biking to school. When children can
safely and easily walk or bike to school, they get more physical activity-something that
can help prevent obesity and promote good health. Please let your colleagues know about
these resources and contact me with any questions you might have.

We have many other resources too that you can use to create more active, healthy
communities. Let me know if you want more information.
Thank you,
Debbie
