We offer a range of services and resources to help families across the metro area get active by safely walking and bicycling for transportation, recreation, and fitness. We work with local school districts, cities, and law enforcement agencies to address physical, safety, and policy barriers to children walking or bicycling to school. Kids that bike or walk to school arrive ready to learn and have fewer problems with attention and health.
