	Students at Risk of Being injured or killed in Traffic Violence.
	BC Tuesday
	Authors: Cristina Furlong and Julia Haslanger
	We will make connections between existing data on High Priority Safe Routes to Schools Programs, NYPD Collision Data and Safety Education Data to determine best practices for reducing the risks of children being injured or killed on their commutes to and from school.

	How we will identify this group as a community: This community would reflect those who are immediately affected by traffic violence in close proximity to a neighborhood school.The refined community are those beyond the children who can work to affect change to the policies and risks that cause children to be inured or killed in traffic violence.

	1-Age Range: 3 to 14 years old as the main at-risk group
	2-Children attending Pre-K through 8th Grade or Afterschool or Summer Programs in NYC.
	3-Location: Queens, New York and Manhattan. (Note:early research is pointing towards doing a comparison of three schools on the DOT

	####Disparities in the School Safety Spending at the Department of Education
	_Authors: Cristina Furlong and Jay Wasserman_
	####In the last few years, some very high profile incidents of traffic violence injuring or killing school children, the Department of Education still spends far more dollars and resources on terror and violent crime and prevention over traffic safety lessons and staffing and street resources. (by this I mean developing pick up and drop off protocols, encouraging walking and biking to school)
