Walking and biking to school isn't just a "greener" alternative to driving or riding the bus. It's far more fun! And the mission of Safe Routes to School is to help children and their parents discover that — and enjoy it safely. From ongoing educational programs to the creation of safe walking and biking routes, everything we do is aimed at taking more vehicles off roads and putting more kids on sidewalks.
