Helping kids get to school in fun, safe and active ways!

Safe Routes to School is an international movement that focuses on making walking and bicycling to school a safe and valued activity. Safe Routes’ top priorities are to return kids to the active and healthy tradition of walking and biking to school while reducing child pedestrian and bicycling injury and deaths. 

Through infrastructure improvements in school environments, traffic safety education, enhanced traffic enforcement, and encouragement and outreach to communities; more children are traveling to school in fun and healthy ways.

The Active Transportation Alliance is the regional expert and resource that catalyzes and inspires more Safe Routes to School programs in local communities.
