This study examined the relationship between state laws requiring minimum bussing distances, hazardous route exemptions, sidewalks, crossing guards, speed zones, and traffic control measures around schools and active travel to school (ATS) policies/practices in nationally representative samples of U.S. public elementary schools between 2007-2009. The state laws and school data were compiled through primary legal research and annual mail-back surveys of principals, respectively. Multivariate logistic and zero-inflated poisson regression indicated that all state law categories (except for sidewalks) relate to ATS. These laws should be considered in addition to formal safe routes to school programs as possible influences on ATS.
本研究调查了 2007-2009 年美国公立小学全国代表性样本中，州法律规定的最小校车接送距离、危险路线豁免、人行道、过街警卫、限速区和学校周边交通管制措施与积极上学（ATS）政策/实践之间的关系。州法律和学校数据分别通过主要法律研究和校长年度邮件回调查集编制。多变量逻辑回归和零膨胀泊松回归表明，所有州法律类别（人行道除外）都与 ATS 相关。这些法律应与正式的安全上学路线计划一起考虑，作为对 ATS 的可能影响因素。
