Can anyone help me? I have heard of an interesting idea to get kids walking to school, its called the "Walking School Bus". The concept is similar to a traditional school bus - there is a 'driver', a route, a schedule and it goes from house to house to pick-up the kids and take them to school - however it isn't really a bus, they all walk. I am hoping to find out where this idea original came from, how it was started, if it is successful, any documented health benefits to the children, the short and long-term outcomes, any problems that have arisen and how these have been overcome. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Please email me directly. Regards, Tracy * Tracy Anthony Health Promotion Officer, City of Whittlesea, Australia.
