By starting with children and the trip to school, communities become safe places for everyone to walk and bike. By creating safe places for everyone, communities take a major step towards meeting the national goal of ending traffic deaths on roads.

This partnership pre-dates Friends of FoCo Fondo. Since 2018, we have donated over $30,000. These funds have been given unrestricted, and they have used them in all sorts of ways: after-school bike clubs, geared bike fleets for middle-schoolers and elementary school kids, a trailer for storing equipment and serving more students, helmets, and mechanics in low-income apartment complexes to repair bikes. In recent years, Safe Routes has served up to 100 students with disabilities via adaptive-bicycling programming possible through our support.
