Being hit by a car is the number one cause of death for kids 5-14 in New York City, with The Bronx leading the five boroughs with the highest percentage of children hit (over 1/3 of the pedestrians hit in The Bronx are children 14 and under). To help the borough's youngest and most vulnerable pedestrians, T.A. developed “Safe Routes to School.” The program is the first of its kind in the United States and is sponsored by The Bronx Borough President, Fernando Ferrer, and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. Safe Routes to School lays out a 10-step process that brings parents, teachers and principals together with traffic engineers to identify dangerous locations and fix them.
