The Safe Routes Ambassadors are an outreach team educating thousands of children each year on both safe traffic behavior and the benefits of active transportation.  A free city service, the Safe Routes Ambassadors are available to visit any elementary school serving Chicago's students.

Services offered:

In-class Presentations
Safe Routes Ambassadors teach pedestrian safety to second graders and
bicycle safety to fifth graders using an interactive, skills-based method. Lessons
are based on Illinois State Learning Objectives and encourage students to realize
the many benefits of active transportation.

On-foot Workshops
After students receive an in-class safety presentation, a school may
schedule an on-foot workshop with the Ambassadors, where
students are taken outside for a real-life street crossing session,
building on concepts learned in the first lesson.
