Safe Routes Schools Summit

Saturday April 26, 2025 9AM-12PM at Trace Elementary, Multipurpose Room

Hosted by Trace Walk n’ Roll

Calling all school communities: Are you interested in helping students get to school safely on foot & self powered wheels?  Have you built a Walk n’ Roll or Safe Routes to Schools Program at your school, or want to start one? 

We should know each other!  Join us for the Safe Routes Schools Summit.

The summit will be:

  • A collaborative session to share notes about programs run at Bay Area schools
  • A space for those interested in new programs to learn how to build one

Help us figure out what our community cares about – Take this survey to tell us more about yourselves.
