Notes de l'éditeur
“ All children deserve a safe and healthy trip to and from school; via all modes of transportation including walking, biking, public transportation, school bus, or by automobile. Walking and biking are proven to increase activity for children and adults that reduces obesity and contributes to a more healthy life style, more livable and walkable communities with greater accessibility for all.”
