Fewer kids are biking and walking. More parents are driving.
2009: 13% walked
1969: 48% walked

School siting issues: a generation ago
A generation ago: Small schools, located in community centers (EPA, 2003)
Today: Mega-schools, built on edges of towns and cities

School consolidation has lengthened the trip between home and school

It’s not just distanceStudents who live within 1 mile and walk or bike:
2009: 35% 1969: 89%

Most common barriers to walking and bicycling to schoolLong distances 62%
Traffic danger 30%
Adverse weather 19%
Fear of crime danger 12%
Note: Sum of percentages is more than 100% because respondents could identify more than one barrier.

Unintended Consequences: Physical inactivity
Most kids aren’t getting the physical activity they need
Recommended 60 minutes on most, preferably all, days of the week
(US Depts. of Health and Human Services and Agriculture, 2005)

Groups assigned to collection zones. Volunteers assigned to zone A collected data at every midblock and intersection that was within the zone A boundary.
When in doubt on a zone boundary, collect the data!! Others will see that the point has been collected.
Remember, you only need to locate one symbol at each location. For the midblock it references the sidewalks on both sides of the street.
