Yes. Too far to walk. No protected bike lanes and often no sidewalks.

I sympathize with your question, but schools are nowadays located far from anything, like mall sites, even in the northeast USA. Bus service often not offered.

I wish we didn't say "build" bus lanes because then it's a big capital project with consultants, multiple processeses, etc. We just need thought, paint and signs getting cars out of the way, tinkering with signal timing, and enforcement. See Manhattan's 14th Street Busway.
