Assessment for bicycle to see if fit to be swapped 

A Community Bike Swap is a way to refurbish and redistribute community bikes. It engages participants to find bikes that fit them or their children better and is a low to no-cost way to encourage bicycle ridership when paired with other education or promotional events/rides or  otherwise.

The Bus Stop and Walk (BSW) program takes Safe Routes to School to another level by ensuring that every student is provided the opportunity to walk to school.

A guide for schools and families to consider and plan for Back to School travel: walking/ped pods, biking/pedal pods, busing, driving.

This project was developed as a part of the Oregon Metro Regional Safe Routes to Schools program. Metro's Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) program provides resources that help ensure kids and teenagers across the region can safely, affordably, and efficiently access their school and community by walking, rolling, and transit.

Safe Routes to School programs make walking and bicycling to school safer and more accessible for children, including those with disabilities, and increase the number of children who choose to walk and bicycle. Safe Routes to School programs can benefit communities by enhancing children’s health and safety, well-being, and academic performance.

The E-Toolkit is a guiding document for Safe Routes To School Coordinators and educators to use on social media to engage, encourage, and educate students in Oregon through Safe Routes to School programming even while students are not able to physically attend school.
