In accepting this award Safe Routes Partnership director Deb Hubsmith remarked, "This award shines a light on the work of dedicated policy makers, engineers and planners, countless parent volunteers, non-profits, committed educators and enthusiastic children who are true game changers in tens of thousands of communities across the country. I continue to be inspired when people share their stories about new sidewalks and pathways and how more kids are walking and bicycling."
