Safe Routes to School

Safe Routes to School makes walking and bicycling to school more fun, convenient, and safe for families.

Multnomah County partners with the cities and schools of East Multnomah County to support Safe Routes to School activities for youth.

Fall 2025 Update

The Safe Routes to School Program will help your school with Walk and Roll events, pedestrian, scooter, and bike education! We can also help with school circulation. 

Please contact us if you are interested in having us at your school.
