A presentation on the Federal Safe Routes to School program.

At the National Conference of State Legislatures' (NCSL) 2006 Fall Forum, the NCSL Transportation Standing Committee heard a panel of speakers on Safe Routes to School policies and programs.

This presentation was given by Robin Stallings, Executive Director of the Texas Bicycle Coalition and Safe Routes to School National Partnership Representative.  The presentation discusses guidance that FHWA provided to state DOTs for program development that will help states advocate for the best possible SRTS program, which include four key elements:

• A full-time SRTS program coordinator
• A multi-disciplinary advisory committee
• Infrastructure and non-infrastructure funding programs
• Leveraging additional federal funding
