In 2017, we have a once in a generation opportunity to put kids and families first. Let’s seize this moment and make our roads safe so that every kid can walk, bike, and access transit to school. Join the For Every Kid Coalition for this community event, bring your friends, and find out how!
Childcare will be provided upon request.
At this event you will learn:
- What’s new with the Eugene, Springfield, and Bethel Safe Routes to School programs!
- Why Representative John Lively loves Safe Routes to School and why streets matter for all generations!
- How the For Every Kid Coalition is working to make it safe for every kid to walk, bike, and access transit to school in Eugene and Oregon.
- How to provide public testimony and other things you can do to make sure that every kid in Eugene has a safe route to school!
Thanks to our event partners: Point2point at Lane Transit District, Eugene and Springfield Safe Routes to School, the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, and AARP!
For Every Kid is a growing coalition of community, public health, and social justice organizations dedicated to making safe routes to school for every kid by advocating for dedicated funds for Safe Routes to School programs and projects that make streets safe. Supporters include the Community Alliance of Tenants, the Community Cycling Center, and thousands more.
Right now, kids who most need opportunities for physical activity don’t have the necessary safe infrastructure—sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes—in their communities and around their schools to support a healthy childhood.
Safe Routes to School Works! When education is combined with making streets safe, there is a 40% average increase in walking and biking trips to school. This kind of comprehensive program will have regional significance in regards to health, safety, and equity.
