It's September, and school bells are ringing throughout America.
As automobile traffic has progressively increased over the past four decades, the number of students walking or riding bikes to school has plummeted -- from more than two-thirds of kids in the 1960s to just 10% today, according the League of American Bicyclists.
But that trend is going into reverse, if the League has anything to say about it. They've produced a four-minute video to encourage parents, PTA groups and other concerned citizens to get involved in Safe Routes to School, a program that was funded to the tune of $612 million by the federal transportation bill passed last year.
