SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL HEALTHY KIDS PROGRAM -- Adds to existing law to provide for the Safe Routes to School Healthy Kids Program.

SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL HEALTHY KIDS PROGRAM

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of this legislation is to improve the health and safety of Idaho school children by reducing the risk of traffic related injuries and fatalities suffered by children traveling to and from school. It will also increase access and opportunity for school children to reach recommended levels of physical activity, help children grow up at a healthy weight, reduce risks of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Supported Safe Routes to School programs and projects build infrastructure and education programs providing access and encouragement for children to walk and bike to school safely. This creates the Safe Routes to School Healthy Kids Program administered by the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC).
