Get your school on board
Does your child’s school know about Safe Routes Nebraska? Schools are in a prime position to apply for funds from Safe Routes Nebraska to implement comprehensive Safe Routes to School programs . . . including infrastructure improvements.
Inform you child’s principal, PTA, or school board about the opportunities that Safe Routes Nebraska presents.
Other suggestions
