Safe Routes to School bill off to governor for signing
On May 6, the Colorado legislature passed the Safe Routes to School bill and sent it to Gov. John Hickenlooper for signing.
We are so excited about this victory, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of the many supporters who reached out to their representatives and senators. If you’re one of them, thank you!
As passed, the bill will allocate $700,000 to fund Colorado Safe Routes program in the 2014-15 fiscal year. The effort was backed by a wonderful coalition of health, transportation and community groups.
We are especially grateful to the bill’s sponsors and cosponsors for their enthusiasm and hard work in making sure our kids get this critical safety education:
