A Congressional Hearing on Safe Routes to School will take place before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's Sub-Committee on Highways and Transit on October 2 at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time. The Sub-Committee is chaired by Representative DeFazio from Oregon, and he asked the speakers to testify regarding their involvement and assessment of the federal SRTS program. The speakers at the hearing include the following: Lauren Marchetti, National Center for Safe Routes to School, Deb Hubsmith, SRTS National Partnership, Lisa Koch SRTS DOT Coordinator from Kansas, and Scott Bricker, from Oregon's Bicycle Transportation Alliance.
If you are in the DC area, we invite you to attend the hearing in person. It is taking place in Room 2167 of the Rayburn House Office Building (HOB). If you are not able to attend in person, the hearing will be shown via live web cast from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's website Tuesday morning. When you go to the Committee's website, click on "Live Web Cast" and you can view it on Windows Media Player. Be patient because sometimes hearings don't start on time due to roll call. We encourage you to watch the hearing to stay abreast of what is happening with SRTS on the federal level.
