Why Safe Routes to School?
Distance - Traffic Safety - Fear of Crime
School consolidation has lengthened the trip between home and schoolSchool consolidation has lengthened the trip between home and school
• From 1968-2001 - 1,000 less schools; 2 million more students
• Only 35% of students live within 2 miles of their school
• From 1968-2001 - 1,000 less schools; 2 million more students
• Only 35% of students live within 2 miles of their school
