摘要: |
For the past three decades, the children in Florida and across the nation have experienced a decrease in routine daily physical activity as less and less children walk and bicycle to school. Parents choosing cars and buses over walking and bicycling has increased roadway traffic and negatively impacted the health of Florida's children. In response to this decrease and its related problems, such as increased school transportation costs, increase childhood obesity and diabetes, the federal and state government have passed recent legislation concerning multimodal planning, school siting, and the Safe Ways/Routes to School Program. The objective of this research is to determine how to implement this recent legislation in order to maximize the number of children walking and bicycling to school. |
