Walk to School
is an event facilitated by Safe Routes Chattanooga a program of the
Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency and is
supported by Activate Chattanooga. Safe Routes to School is a
national initiative that aims to make everyday walk and bike to
school day. More children walking and biking means better
health benefits for them and the environment, and reduced traffic
congestion for everyone. The Safe Routes Chattanooga program
submitted applications totaling more than $400,000 worth of
proposed improvements to the TDOT Safe Routes to School Grant
program in March 2007. Grant awards are expected to be
announced in this month. More information on TDOT’s
grant program can be found at http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/bikeped/saferoutes.htm
