| Comment | November 18, 2008 Dear CARB: Good day. On Thursday, November 20, 2008, it will be my pleasure and honor to offer concise testimony on behalf of the Safe Routes to School National Partnership (SRTSNP) highlighting key arguments made in the attached document submitted to CARB by SRTSNP. In brief, we suggest that Safe Routes to School infrastructure and non-infrastructure programs, along with improved school siting, can decrease VMT by making it safe, convenient and socially acceptable for kids to walk or bicycle to school. Safe Routes to School and school siting are key examples of tactics that could be employed by CARB and its local government partners to reduce GHG emissions by improving land use and transportation policies. Sincerely, Chris Morfas Sacramento, CA Safe Routes to School National Partnership |
