Safe Streets For Kids Webinar

Join Bicycle Colorado for a free, virtual meeting about Safe Streets for Kids.

Up until 2019, motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of preventable death among children and adolescents. Today, it is second only to firearms.

If you’re a parent of young kids and teens, a school administrator or board member, a crossing guard, or a safe streets advocate, this is a conversation you will want to join.

In this webinar, we’ll explore the root causes of traffic violence and recent state laws and policies that aim to improve traffic safety, especially for our youth. The objective of this session is to equip you with information to help you take action in your community.

A few topics we’ll cover include:

• Using technology to hold drivers accountable who illegally pass a stopped school bus.
• The Liam Stewart School Zone Act – a bill that will improve traffic safety around schools and the routes that students travel to and from school.
• Safe e-biking, including what your kids should and should not be riding.
• Starting a bike bus
• Implementing School Streets
