We had such a great time at the Pop-Up Safety Town in Augusta, GA, hosted by the awesome team at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia!

Our Georgia Safe Routes to School team was out teaching kids how to safely cross the street and ride their bikes — and they did a great job! 🙌 From using crosswalks to riding through a fun bike course, these kids learned important safety tips in a hands-on (and super fun) way.

Big thanks to everyone who came out and to the Children’s Hospital for having us! 💛

📸 Check out some of the highlights — lots of smiles, learning, and little ones showing off their bike and pedestrian skills!

Walking and rolling to school builds lifelong healthy habits, reduces congestion around campus, and helps students arrive ready to learn. 💡📚 Together, we’re creating safer streets and stronger neighborhoods.
