August 2, 2022

To friends of Safe Routes to School,

We hope you are having a safe and enjoyable summer! We've got some exciting resources to share with you as we head into the warm days of August. Why? Because fall is a great time to encourage students to walk and roll throughout the new school year, and Walk+Roll events are a great place to start!

New blog post with resources: Need a boost in planning your Safe Routes efforts this fall? ODOT SRTS can help! Check out our blog with resources for planning events, educational activities, and more to get students walking and rolling to school all year long. Be sure to check out our resource page as well for more free ideas!

Free webinar coming up: Want some inspiration for planning SRTS Walking and Rolling events? Register for our next webinar, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. It's Part 2 of our planning series where you can get tips on how to plan successful events that are fun for all. At the webinar, Technical Assistance Provider team members will share resources to help you plan your events, and Safe Routes coordinators will share tips on how they've had successful events in the past.

Don't forget about our website, always packed with helpful information for walking and rolling safely along - and for encouraging others to do the same (https://www.oregonsaferoutes.org/).

We look forward to seeing you, and thank you for supporting safe routes to school!
