How to start a bike bus
Information
A bike bus is a group of students riding their bikes to school, usually with adult supervision. It can be as simple as two families taking turns biking students to school or a structured program with routes, a schedule, and meeting locations.
A park-and-walk might be the right option for you and your family if you live too far from school to walk or roll all the way. Park-and-walk encourages parents who drive to school to drop-off or pick-up their children two to four blocks from school. This allows children to walk the rest of the way.
A walking school bus is a group of students walking to school together. Students and parents choose to meet at a park or an intersection and then walk from there, usually along the same route. Some families may walk to the meeting spot, others may drive or take transit.
Portland’s Vision Zero Action Plan sets out specific, measurable actions to move toward zero traffic deaths or serious injuries on Portland streets.
