Latent demand for #saferoutestoschool is real.

When planning this sidepath for middle schoolers, we could not have predicted a group of 12 independent elementary students would use it to walk to swim practice after school.

Build it and EVERYBODY will come.

It's a good day to let someone else drive. My bike is on bus the CAT bus to Portland.

Forming a mental map is a critical aspect of independent mobility for children. The club members learn this subversively as we take walking and biking adventures around town.

I love when puppies 🐶 ride transit.

"Children in the community with light traffic created far more detailed maps...of their neighborhood street network that practically could have been handed to people asking for directions," Bruce Appleyard-2017.

Kids of all abilities, whether they are in a wheelchair, skateboard, rollerskate, bike or walk, should have a choice to create their own play without their parents.

I was the epitome of an 80s child. My parents worked full time and it was necessary for me to transport myself and find my own play.

Stranger Things is a powerful memory tug AND a challenge in my Safe Routes to School work to give this generation the free-range childhood that I had.
