Resources – Safe Routes to School

BikeTexas has developed an extensive guide to organizing biking and walking events for your local school and community. The Safe Routes to School Event Handbook leads you through all the steps of organizing events such as a Bike and Walk to School Day, Bike/Walk Rodeos and Bike/Walk-A-Thon Fundraisers.  These fun events  teach children bike safety skills while improving health and well-being and making your neighborhood safer for biking and walking.

The free resources below are provided for coordinating Bike & Walk to School Days. All materials, unless otherwise noted, are copyright and created by BikeTexas for use by Bike & Walk to School Day participating schools.
