The Statehouse was abuzz as students from around the Treasure Valley lobbied for Safe Routes to School.
Seventy-one students from Kuna, Middleton, Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, and Meridian presented their legislators with facts, personal stories, and persuasive arguments in favor of Safe Routes to School. While some legislators were cool to the subject, most were favorably impressed by the students’ composure and their request for two million dollars of annual state dedicated funds to the Safe Routes program. Idaho Walk Bike Alliance would like to thank the American Heart Association for partnering with us on this inspiring day.
