This guide is written for those interested in planning a bicycle safety skills event for children either at school or at other community venues. It gives you a step-by-step approach to planning and initiating a bicycle safety skills event, including instructions and resources for setting up a course.

The primary objective of this guide is to provide tips and guidance on how States and communities can effectively deploy pedestrian safety enforcement operations to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities. 

NHTSA has put together this Bicycle Safety Activity Kitto provide parents, caregivers, teachers, community leaders, and children with tools to learn the important basics about bicycle safety. This kit can be used in school or community bicycle safety programs or in conjunction with Safe Routes to School programs. 

Safe Routes to School programs can succeed in rural areas. But ensuring that schoolchildren can get the benefits of walking and bicycling to school in rural communities requires dealing with some challenges and barriers that may be different than in other areas.

Two years ago, Congress made major modifications to the federal Safe Routes to School program. While those changes are still being rolled out by state departments of transportation, it is time to examine how different states have adapted to those changes and how the changes have impacted the availability of Safe Routes to School funds. 

This report summarized findings and lessons learned to increase proper bicycle helmet use among middle school students, based on an 8 week peer-based program.

Student transportation departments have the potential to focus on more than just busing students to school. 

This web-based resource offers law enforcement officers tips, tools, and resources for supporting Safe Routes to School efforts and overall pedestrian bicycle safety efforts geared for use at the community level.

The Child Pedestrian Safety Curriculum teaches and encourages pedestrian safety for students grades Kindergarten through 5th Grade. It is organized into five lessons: walking near traffic, crossing streets, crossing intersections, parking lot safety, and school bus safety. Each lesson builds upon previous set of skills learned.
