Back to School Safety Tips
The beginning of a new school year is also a time when children are at increased risk of transportation related injuries from pedestrian, bicycle, school bus, and motor vehicle crashes. Now is the time for everyone- motorists, parents, educators, and students- to improve their traffic safety practices.
Let’s GO, NC: A Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Skills Program for Healthy, Active Children
Let's GO, NC is a new education program that teaches elementary age children how to walk and bike safely, giving them the essential skills that they need to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. Included in an all-in-one package is lesson plans, materials, activities and instructional videos that encourage children to learn about and practice fundamental skills that build safe habits. This program was developed for the North Carolina Department of Transportation's Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation and Safe Routes to School Program by NC State University's Institute for Transportation Research and Education.
