Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School...
is a nationwide program dedicated to getting more school children to bicycle or walk to school. Through education, encouragement, enforcement, and engineering we hope to make walking and biking to school the preferred mode of transporation for Fort Collins students!
Bike Fort Collins is working closely with the City of Fort Collins and Bicycle Colorado to provide volunteers and support to make this project a success. A grant through CDOT is allowing the city of Fort Collins to implement the program at 5 local elementary schools. Read more at City of Fort Collins Safe Routes.
If your school is interested in introducing bicycle and pedestrian safety, we can help you get started. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact us at info@bikefortcollins.org
