As this school year comes to a close, we are reflecting on how our Safe Routes to School program helps students and families thrive: How are our programs supporting students and families to succeed?  How are they building tapered steps towards independent mobility?

Does seeing your child walk along a line of hot cars spewing emissions make you worry about their lungs? Are you concerned with how little time your kids spend outside each day? Do you worry about the safety risks associated with all the car traffic around the school?

It doesn't have to be this way!
