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
