Suburban Workshop This Thursday: Helping Your Students or Children Get To School Safely

Close your eyes, and think back to when you were a child. Do you remember walking or riding your bicycle to school? Wasn't it grand?

Sadly, our children today are less likely to walk or bike to school than their parents' generation. However, efforts from groups like the National Center for Safe Routes to School are starting to reverse that trend.

Want to help your school become more walk and bike friendly? Participate in our upcoming evening workshop!

Date: Thursday, August 30th
Place: Doylestown Library - 150 S. Pine Street, Doylestown PA, 18901
Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm
Register online here

Aimed at both parents and educators, this workshop will give you information, tools, and resources to improve your local school's walking and biking environment. We will teach you how to apply for funding, advocate for infrastructure changes, and work with local schools on encouragement and education activities.
