National Center for Safe Routes to School

The National Center for Safe Routes to School is a resource that promotes walking and biking to school to improve safety, health, and the environment. It provides technical assistance, training, and guidance to communities, schools, and planners to develop safe, accessible routes for students. By encouraging active transportation, it aims to reduce traffic congestion around schools and support healthier lifestyles for children. The Center's work helps create safer neighborhoods where kids can walk or bike confidently, fostering independence and physical activity.
