| Safe Routes to School (SRTS) partnered with Escambia County Learn, Play, Grow Summer Camp the week of July 2 to teach bicycle and pedestrian safety lessons. Camp attendees learned rules of the road, how to navigate streets and intersections, and how to be safe while walking and biking. Through these lessons, youth become competent pedestrians and bicyclists, gaining lifelong safety skills they will use throughout their lives.
If you are associated with a school or youth organization and are interested in implementing bicycle/pedestrian lessons, please contact SRTS Outreach Coordinator, Caitlin Cerame or at 850-332-7976. |
