abstract="Walking and biking to school can be an important  part of a healthy lifestyle, yet most US children do not start their day with  these activities. The Safe Routes to School Program in Marin County, California,  is working to promote walking and biking to school. Using a multipronged  approach, the program identifies and creates safe routes to schools and invites  communitywide involvement. By its second year, the program was serving 4665  students in 15 schools. Participating public schools reported an increase in  school trips made by walking (64%), biking (114%), and carpooling (91%) and a  decrease in trips by private vehicles carrying only one student  (39%).",
