The purpose of the Safe Routes Improvement Act is to enhance the safety and accessibility of routes that children take to school. This legislation aims to ensure that each state has a designated coordinator responsible for overseeing the Safe Routes to School program, which promotes walking and biking to school in a safe manner. Key provisions of the Act include the requirement for each state to appoint a coordinator specifically for the Safe Routes to School program. This coordinator will serve as the main point of contact for the program within the state.
