步行是积极生活方式的一部分，与心脏病，糖尿病，高血压和结肠癌的风险降低以及健康感增加有关。然而，随着时间的推移，儿童和成人步行出行的比例都有所下降。《2010年健康人》（第22- 14 b号）的目标之一是将儿童和青少年步行上学的比例从31%提高到50%。1969年，大约一半的学生步行或骑自行车上学或放学，87%的人住在学校1英里内步行或骑自行车。今天，只有不到15%的儿童和青少年使用积极的交通方式。本报告分析了2004年消费者风格调查和后续再接触调查的数据，以描述父母报告的5-18岁儿童步行上学或放学的障碍。报告最多的障碍是离学校远，其次是与交通有关的危险。需要采取包括行为、环境和政策战略在内的综合举措来解决这些障碍，以提高步行上学儿童的比例。
Walking for transportation is part of an active lifestyle that is associated with decreased risks for heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and colon cancer and an increased sense of well being. However, the percentage of trips made by walking has declined over time among both children and adults. One of the objectives of Healthy People 2010 (no. 22-14b) is to increase among children and adolescents the proportion of trips to school made by walking from 31% to 50%. In 1969, approximately half of all schoolchildren walked or bicycled to or from school, and 87% of those living within 1 mile of school walked or bicycled. Today, fewer than 15% of children and adolescents use active modes of transportation. This report examines data from the 2004 ConsumerStyles Survey and a follow-up recontact survey to describe what parents report as barriers to their children aged 5-18 years walking to or from school. Distance to school was the most commonly reported barrier, followed by traffic-related danger. Comprehensive initiatives that include behavioral, environmental, and policy strategies are needed to address these barriers to increase the percentage of children who walk to school.
