Safe Routes to School Bloomington is part of the National Safe Routes to School program to enable community leaders, schools and parents across the United States to improve safety and encourage more children, including children with disabilities, to safely walk and bicycle to school.

Safe Routes to School Bloomington works to:

• assess the safety of school travel
• encourage more walking and bicycling to school through fun promotions and events
• make engineering changes such as building sidewalks, improving street crossings and training crossing guards
• educate students, parents and drivers about safe travel promote safe walking and bicycling throughout the community

“If the number of kids who walk and bike to school was restored to 1969 levels, our nation would cut 3.2 billion vehicle miles . . .”
