National Safe Routes to School Clearinghouse established

Wednesday, August 02, 2006

The new national Safe Routes to School program is the best chance we have now to help our kids stay healthy by getting more of them out walking and bicycling safely in their communities.

The National Safe Routes to School Clearinghouse is charged with developing a centralized source of information on successful Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs and strategies. One the site you will find information on how to start and sustain a Safe Routes to School program, case studies of successful programs as well as many other resources for training and technical assistance.

Particularly helpful is a page with resources for getting your local SRTS program up and running, walkability and bikeability checklists, curriculums, and so on, and a page with information on available SRTS training programs.

More helpful resources for Safe Routes to School in Missouri can be found here.

Individuals and organizations are invited to join the Missouri Safe Routes Coalition.
