The U.S. GAO report on Safe Routes to School was released on July 31, 2008.

The Safe Routes Partnership launched the State Network Project in 2007 to influence state-level Safe Routes to School implementation and to leverage additional resources and build a supportive environment through other state-level policies. 

This report indicates how Safe Routes to School is being institutionalized at select schools, and providing a mechanism to improve student and school health. 

This study explores how school-level dynamics that underlie the planning and implementation of SRTS programs relate to the percentage of students who walk and bicycle between home and school.

Safe Kids Worldwide released a report Walking Safely: A Report to the Nation that examines 15-year trends in child pedestrian injuries and deaths in the U.S. The report reveals that while walking safety has improved overall for children since 1995, there are still a staggering number of children hit by cars.
