Platform Announcement

Will your organization help us reach our new endorsement goal of 20+ by Friday?

Safe Routes to School California would like to extend a gracious thank you to all of those who have signed on the the 2012 Southern California Regional Platform thus far. With your help, we were able to reach our goal of 75 Platform endorsements by May 15th — about three weeks early!

And to show you we’re still up for a challenge (we know you are too!) we’re updating our goal: 20 new organization Platform endorsements by Friday, May 5th. Four per day — that’s not so bad, right? This is an important deadline for Safe Routes to School California, as we will be submitting a letter to SCAG next Monday urging the Metropolitan Planning Organization to analyze public health and safety in next year’s Regional Transportation Plan. In this letter, we will be listing the support Safe Routes to School California has gathered for the Platform.

So go ahead and contact your favorite organizations with a link to our Support Us page — or if you’re part of an organization who has not yet signed on, we encourage you to bring the Safe Routes to School Platform to your Board and consider endorsing this week.

As always, we thank you for your continued collaboration in creating sustainable communities by supporting walking and bicycling to schools.

Sincerely,
Safe Routes to School California
