This study takes advantage of a one-time infusion of federal funds to support local planning and policy development to facilitate safe and active commuting by school children to and from school. The study examines local variation in how these funds were distributed across the state, the role of local public health authorities in influencing resource allocation and decision-making concerning local use of funds, and the consequences of these decisions in terms of development and implementation of local active commuting plans and policies.
