Safe Routes for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, & Students
The Palo Alto Safe Routes to School Program coordinates bicycle and pedestrian safety education for Palo Alto Unified School District families.
As the number of students who use alternative transportation to commute (walking, biking, carpooling, and transit) has risen over the years, the scope of the City's Safe Routes to School education offerings has grown. The 2018-19 core education programs touched approximately 5,888& students, or roughly 49% of total PAUSD enrollment. Sample Curriculum
