Join the Ride!
More riders will add visibility to our campaign for safe routes, especially in urban and suburban areas that are our campaign targets. Equally important, we would love company and moral support as we attempt to ride over 5,000 miles. See the Route+Schedule page for information about when we will be in your region. Contact us at rideforsaferoutes@gmail.com for details on joining us.But you don’t have to bike across the country to add your support to the campaign for safe streets…

Safe Routes to School National Partnership
The Safe Routes to School National Partnership’s mission is to advocate for safe walking and bicycling to and from schools, and in daily life, to improve the health and well-being of America’s children and to foster the creation of livable, sustainable communities. Launched in August 2005, the Safe Routes to School National Partnership is a fast-growing network of hundreds of organizations, government agencies and professional groups working to set goals, share best practices, leverage infrastructure and program funding, and advance policy change to help agencies that implement Safe Routes to School programs.In 2007, the SRTS National Partnership initiated the State Network Project to establish SRTS networks in nine states and the District of Columbia. The project brings together stakeholders from diverse fields to work with state Departments of Transportation to increase physical activity in students, to make the best use of available federal SRTS funds, and to remove policy barriers to walking and bicycling to schools.
