Now that the federal Safe Routes to School program has been lumped into the general 'Transportation Alternatives' pot, and because the federal transportation law only lasts for two years, it is ever so critical that we create as many policymaker champions for Safe Routes to School as we can! Getting policymakers out to promotional events such as Walk to School Day on October 3, site visits to see Walking School Buses or Bike Safety Education classes, and other "Show Me" events, can be critical for our future. Your Safe Routes to School program will thrive when policies and funding help your program to sustain and grow.

Learn how to put on a great event, why it is important to get policymakers involved and how you can use your local or state Safe Routes to School program promotion to inspire policy change and build Safe Routes to School into the fabric of your community.

This webinar is the fourth in a series of monthly webinars on topics related to Safe Routes to School and other policy and program initiatives that can increase walking and bicycling to school and in daily life.
