Program Information

Public School Programming

As part of the “Get Healthy Philly” Campaign, Safe Routes Philly Community Representatives offer curriculum, training, support and resources for public elementary school teachers. Safe Routes Philly offers a supporting website and telephone-based assistance to help 2nd and 5th grade teachers in implementing pedestrian (2nd grade) and bicycle (5th grade) safety lessons. In addition to the curriculum, we help individual schools create sustained encouragement campaigns to get their kids walking and biking safely on a regular basis. Find a Safe Routes Philly Act 48 Accredited training session. Contact your school’s Community Representative.

Private, Independent, Parochial, Charter School Programming

Please understand that at this point, Safe Routes Philly does not offer an educator to come out and teach a lesson in bicycle safety.  Should we find ourselves in a position to begin offering these classes again, we will make sure to share that good news.  In the meantime, however, Safe Routes Philly has a fantastic binder full of lessons on bicycle safety for 5th graders and pedestrian safety for 2nd graders (all of which are adaptable to other elementary grade levels).  These materials are available for free for all teachers and administrators.  You can download the material directly from our website.  For more information please contact Program Director, Diana Owens Steif.
