Our Program
Trailnet’s SR2S program is designed to increase the number of children walking and biking to school throughout the bi-state St. Louis area. Our SR2S program integrates health, fitness, traffic relief, environmental awareness and safety under one program. It also helps to combat the increasingly alarming rates of childhood and adult obesity. Nationwide, over nine million young people are overweight and childhood obesity rates have more than doubled in the past twenty years to 16%. The statistics are worse for adults, with the latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics showing that 30 percent of U.S. adults 20 years of age and older (over 60 million people) are obese. In Missouri, the problem is even more severe with over 32% of children considered overweight and 62% of adults overweight or obese.

Schools may develop a custom program to best meet their needs by selecting any combination of our individual program components.
