> Who may be interested in these sessions?
>
> A successful Safe Routes to School program requires coordination among
> schools (teachers, administrators, nurses, school boards, etc.),
> parents (PTAs/PTOs), cities and other governmental organizations
> (political leaders, law enforcement, public works, planners), and
> community members.
>
> So any one of those people may be interested in attending the grant
> writing session to find out more about the Safe Routes to School
> program and the grants that area available.
>
>
> What is Safe Routes to Schools?
>
> Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a national program designed to get
> more kids active and healthy by safely walking and bicycling to
> school.
>
> The national SRTS program is based on successful pilot programs that
> used a combination of encouragement and education (safety education,
> special events, contests, prizes, walking school buses) and
> engineering (fixing unsafe roads, crosswalks, intersections,
> sidewalks) to greatly increase the number of children walking and
> bicycling to school while simultaneously reducing traffic and
> congestion around schools.
