Safe Routes To School Bill


The Group 'Complete Streets Spokane' wants you to know that if having safe routes to school is one of the reasons you support the Complete Streets movement, you have an opportunity to support it at the federal level by contacting our state senators and asking them to co-sponsor a new bill introduced by Senator Harkin. The bill proposes sustaining the Safe Routes to School program at the current funding level of $183 million and would make some policy tweaks to strengthen the program.

If you like the sound of this, you can go here to take action.
