SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are sustained efforts by parents, schools, community leaders and local, state, and federal governments to improve the health and well-being of children by enabling and encouraging them to walk and bicycle to school.

GET INVOLVED

• Volunteer for bi-annual bicycle and pedestrian counts (contact [email protected] for details)
• Attend a Trails & Blueways Council or Active Prince William meeting
• Become a League Certified Instructor (League of American Bicyclists)

FREE BIKE REGISTRATION

• Register your bike to alert local law enforcement and community members to help recover your bike if it is stolen. Missing bike posters are automatically created that can be printed and posted in the community.
