Strategies

Provide education and training sessions with parent-child activities and family meals for youth, parents, and care providers

Partner with doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals to incorporate literacy support into regular well-child visits, especially in lower income communities

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
