Out of ‘ Site,’ Out of Mind Increasing Community Connectivity and Physical Activity through Healthy School Site Planning

Columbus City Schools Parent Survey

Consider the Proximity of the Student Population Enables students to walk/bike! Decreases traffic around schools Increases social cohesion Decreases cost!

Transportation Costs U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences National Center for Education Statistics

Accommodate All Modes of Transportation Pedestrians Bicyclists Student Bussing Public Transit Vehicles Student drop off Staff access Deliveries

Accommodate All Modes of Transportation
