The Safe Routes to School Coordinators in Iowa support schools by offering in-person lessons, co-taught activities, and providing resources and equipment lending. They ensure every student learns essential bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic safety skills, including understanding local laws. Coordinators foster safe transportation habits through hands-on activities and encourage physical activity. This presentation will demonstrate skill stations and rotations for teaching safety and riding skills. Additionally, Safe Routes to School assists local school champions with organizing Walking School Bus, Bike Bus, and Walk & Roll to School Day events, promoting active transportation in a fun and safe way. As e-bikes become more popular, it’s crucial to address safety and rules for their use, ensuring students of all ages understand how to ride responsibly. Safe Routes to School is also looking at ways to incorporate e-bike education alongside traditional bike safety lessons.
