Thank you.
My first question is to both organizations.
Active and Safe Routes to School has talked about how the number of kids walking and cycling to school has gone down. I think it's about one in three now.
Is stranger danger real, and how can we get parents to get over their fear of sending their kids to walk and bike to school? It's what we hear so often, yet kids are just as safe today as they were 35 years ago, if not more so.
We also know that if more kids are walking, the busier the streets will be and the better it is for all of them. How can we educate parents around building that daily physical activity of going to and from school?
