The Safe Routes to School National Partnership and the Y have released Making Strides: 2018 State Report Cards on Support for Walking, Bicycling, and Active Kids and Communities, a report that helps state leaders and decision makers prioritize transportation investments, resources, and policies that support walkable communities. The rankings show that there is enormous opportunity for states to enact new, health-promoting, evidence-based policies—and strengthen existing ones that will benefit our communities. The report finds that a majority of the states rank in the middle categories of “Warming Up” and “Making Strides,” with only two states ranking in the highest category of “Building Speed,” and three states ranking as “Lacing Up,” the lowest category.
We’re all working together to drive down pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities!
