Safe Routes to School NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
Why State Policy?
Federal SRTS Funding is Critical,
But It is Not Enough
Policies Can Be Barriers
Built Environment Needs Help
Distance, Crime and Safety Issues
Why Regional Policy?
Regional Governments (MPO’s) are powerful
Large part of state population affected
Very little advocacy at regional level
Regions are more powerful in MAP-21
