"We've spent decades closing neighborhood schools, consolidating schools in unwalkable locations, and making our communities more dangerous places for kids to walk and bike, all while public transportation became less frequent and less available.

As late as 1969, about half of kids under 15 usually walked or bicycled to school. By 2009, the figure was 13 percent."
