Safe Routes To School Summit Coming To Spokane

The Second Annual Washington Safe Routes to School Summit is coming up in November, so get yourself registered.

Today, most children take the bus or are driven to school. Only 1 out of every 8 children gets to school on their own two feet. This is taking a toll on our communities - children are less active, neighbors are less connected, and air quality is lower than ever.

The summit is Nov. 13 in Spokane. There will be experts from all across the Northwest on: Getting your program off the ground, innovations and success stories from around the state, mobilizing parents and administration, and sustaining programs. Here's where to register.
