One of the ways to help promote walking and <br />bicycling as normal, everyday activities is to disseminate consistent, ongoing communications to the school <br />community. The most effective way to reach parents and other community members is through existing <br />communications, through media they already see, hear, and pay attention to. For this reason, it is <br />recommended that Wilshire Park Elementary School identify the most used communication methods and take <br />advantage of those existing channels for sharing Safe Routes to School facts, tips, education, and <br />encouragement. Communication channels could include parent emails, backpack mail, WPPA publications, <br />newsletters, community papers, websites, blogs, or social media. For example, the school may choose to <br />feature a Safe Routes to School corner or page on their existing website if it is well used by parents and <br />updated often. <br />Wilshire Park Elementary School Safe Routes to School Plan 127 <br />
