Welcome

Safe Routes to School is an international movement to make it safe, convenient, and fun for children to bicycle and walk to school.

The goal of Safe Routes to School is to get more children bicycling and walking to schools every day. This improves community and personal health, benefits the environment, increases safety, and decreases traffic congestion around schools.

Even if you have to get to school by car, there are still options for you to help reduce congestion and make your commute less stressful.

Getting Started...

This website contains community-based information to help Palo Alto parents learn how to start their children biking and walking to school safely, to give volunteers the information they need to get involved, and to provide links to important community resources.

If you are interested in a particular school click on: Schools or for safety tips then click on Getting to School.

If you are looking for school-specific maps then click on Maps.

The green buttons on the left will help you learn about resources that are available to you in addition to these popular links.

We'd like to hear from you

If you have any questions or don't find the information you need here, please send us an email or check under the contacts section of this website for specific committees and additional resources.
