Safe Routes to School

While infrastructure improvements often draw most of the attention, the City is also working in partnership with the Lakewood City Schools/PTA, Bike Lakewood, and local Bicycle establishments to revitalize and support Safe Routes to School programming.  In accordance with the 2024 Active Transportation Plan recommendations, we are focusing on supporting individual schools and their corresponding PTAs to develop, implement, and sustain bike/walk to school programs – including walking school buses and bike trains.  Intended to be refined and updated based on experience and lessons learned over the coming years, our current “working draft” guidebook can be accessed at the following link:
