Safe Routes to School

Safe routes to school promotes helmet, bike, and pedestrian safety in the community. We visit local at-risk schools to teach safety, fit and give helmets to students, and then test their newly-learned skills on our practice course.

Road traffic crashes ranks among the top 4 cause of death for all children over 5.  Helmet use is the single most effective way to reduce bicycle‐related fatalities. 

 

The proper helmet can reduce head injuries by 88%, yet only 29% of children who ride bikes say they always wear helmets. The typical crash occurs within a single mile of home.
