Health
In 1969, approximately 50% of
children walked or bicycled to school;
today fewer than 15% of children
walk or bicycle to school. As a result,
kids today are less active, less
independent, and less healthy
Over the past 40 years, rates of
obesity have soared among children
of all ages in the united states, and
approximately 25 million children and
adolescents more than 33% -- are
now overweight, obese, or at the
risk of becoming so. (12)
Kids are less active today, and 23%
of children get no free time
physical activity at all (13)
As you can see here, the rate of
obesity among adults have also
increased.
About one-quarter of health care
costs in the US are attributed to
obesity. (15)
The prevalence of obesity is so great
that todays generation of children
may be the first in over 200 years to
live less healthy and have shorter
lifespan than their parents. (14)

Safety
Washingtons Safe routes to schools
primary goal is to have students
demonstrate safer bicycling and
walking behaviors.
Safe routes to schools targets
students ages 10 to 13, as there is a
jump in pedestrian and bicycle
collisions beginning the teenage
years.
From 2000 to 2006, 30% of traffic
deaths for children ages 5-15
occurred while walking or
bicycling (10)
In 2009, about 23,000 children
ages 5-15 were injured and more
than 250 were killed while
walking or bicycling in the united
states (8)
A safety analysis by the California
Department of Transportation
estimated that the safety benefit of
the safe routes to schools program
was up to a 49 percent decrease in

the childhood bicycle and

pedestrian collision rates (11)
In 2005, the U.S. Congress approved
$612 million in funding for five years
of state implementation of safe
routes to school programs in all 50
states, including the district of
Columbia. Communities are using
this funding to construct new bike
lanes, pathways, and sidewalks, as
well as to launch safe routes to
school education, promotion and
enforcement campaigns in K-8
schools.
