Greetings:
Active Living
Research<http://activelivingresearch.org/> would like to share with
you a brand new ALR product on the impact of SRTS programs on walking and
biking<http://activelivingresearch.org/impact-safe-routes-school-program…ng>.
The research review highlights evidence on walking and biking rates, safety, and economic
issues associated with SRTS. The research review shows that:
· Actively commuting to and from school could improve mental and physical
health.
· SRTS has increased the number of students who walk or bike to and from school.
· Unsafe routes make it harder for students to walk or bike to and from school.
SRTS has made it safer for students to walk or bike to or from school.
· SRTS can lower health care and transportation costs for school districts and
families.
We hope that you will find the review useful in your work and will share with your
networks and/or constituents. The below email contains proposed tweets that you can use to
help disseminate this review if you’d like.
Please forgive cross-postings and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Most school children in the U.S. get to school by bus or car, with only a small percentage
walking or biking. In 2005, Congress created the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program to
improve safety and increase the number of children walking and biking to and from school
through educational efforts, encouragement programs, and road improvements at or near
schools. Research studies indicate that SRTS has increased rates of walking and biking and
improved safety. Studies also show the program is an economically sound investment that
can decrease health costs and school transport costs.

shows that:
· Actively commuting to and from school could improve mental and physical
health.
· SRTS has increased the number of students who walk or bike to and from school.
· Unsafe routes make it harder for students to walk or bike to and from school.
SRTS has made it safer for students to walk or bike to or from school.
· SRTS can lower health care and transportation costs for school districts and
families.
· Communities can take action on SRTS through subdivision regulations that require
sidewalks, education facility plans that ensure access to school by foot and bicycle,
school wellness policies that include Safe Routs to School, and capital improvement plans
that prioritize engineering improvements near schools.
