Safe Routes to School Low-Income Resource Guide Now Available The Safe Routes to School National Partnership’s new publication: Implementing Safe Routes to School in Low-Income Schools and Communities: A Resource Guide for Volunteers and Professionals, addresses several common barriers to safe walking and bicycling on school routes: Crime and violence (personal safety). Awareness and attitudes (community readiness). A shortage of professional expertise. Limited parental involvement. The barrier of distance to school. Traffic safety and the built environment. Children in low-income areas are twice as likely to walk to school, but face higher rates of pedestrian-related injuries and fatalities. The Guide features more than 20 low-income school communities, including Detroit and Highland Park, Michigan. http://www.saferoutespartnership.org/lowincomeguidehttp://www.saferoutespartnership.org/lowincomeguidehttp://www.saferoutespartnership.org/lowincomeguideshapeimage_20_link_0shapeimage_20_link_1shapeimage_20_link_2
