Today! There are so many ways to get to school that make you feel good in body and mind, save gas money, build your student's independence, are better for the planet and help make the school streets safer. Today is a great day to try walking and rolling, whether it's all the way to school or whether it's parking a few blocks away and walking or rolling the rest. We hope you'll join this international movement!

Wouldn't that be great if there was a way to get more young people riding bikes? There is! And you can be a part of it! Read about the work we do here at Safe Routes to School and the City of Eugene Recreation and ways to volunteer. Shout out to our amazing volunteer, Christine Hall, who loves volunteering with us so much that she initiated and wrote the story with our 4J SRTS Coordinator to help get the word out.

We largely focus publicly on sharing the joy of and skills for active and shared travel. But behind the scenes, SRTS works with local governments and nonprofits as well as community members to play our part in moving our communities towards improved safety. We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and serious injuries taking place on our streets and look forward to a future where it's safer for everyone in our communities to move freely.
