摘要: |
In October 2007, the Center for Nutrition and Activity Promotion at Penn state Hershey Children's Hospital (Center) began working under contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to develop, coordinate, and administer the non-infrastructure side of the Pennsylvania SRTS Program. The Center provides grants and technical assistance to 40 K-8 schools; produced resources to support the development and implementation of SRTS plans; led statewide promotional efforts around Walk to School Day; trained individuals on various SRTS-related topics; and fostered strategic relationships with key stakeholders. The Center effectively engaged K-8 schools to administer the required components of the Federal SRTS Program. Hundreds of schools, representing tens of thousands of students, were reached each year through Walk to School Day promotion, the Center's multiple listservs, and the SRTS Academy website, for instance. The grant program alone successfully engaged 40 schools, representing more than 20,000 students. The funding made available through the Pennsylvania SRTS Program enabled the Center to make significant contributions to the SRTS movement. Ultimately, it allowed the Center to give K-8 schools the opportunity to create more supportive, safer environments for walking and bicycling to school. / Title Note: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation, Harrisburg.
