BikeSafe

Last Wednesday was a very special Walk to School Day with the Palmetto Elementary School PTA in the Village of Pinecrest - and not just because it happens to be WalkSafe's 20-year anniversary, but because it's the first time a Walk to School Day has started with a celebratory Bike Bus.

That's right, this amazing day started out with a special Wednesday edition of the Palmetto Bike Bus with Ms. Bogert.

What an amazing experience seeing this fantastic, active transportation future for kids blossoming in this municipality of Miami, Florida. Bravo!

Yesterday was one AWESOME weekend thanks to Virginia Key Bicycle Club's 8th Annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day.

This event is as much fun for the kids as it is for the parents. If you haven't tried it...you are missing out.

Thank you again for having us!

: "It has really extended beyond creating these routes and getting kids to school into trying to change the infrastructure within our town."

Grassroots efforts around the globe have gotten kids to school safely on two wheels. Now, North American planners are joining in.

Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) 2026 Annual Conference was hosted by Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) in Sacramento, California. MPOs from around the country gathered to spark innovation through informative sessions, thought-provoking main-stage presentations, and hands-on mobile tours.

Kevin C. Walford, Transit and Regional Manager, presented during the “I Want to Ride My Bicycle” session, where he focused on the examination of University of Miami’s BikeSafe Program to understand how pop up bike lanes and “Bike to School Day” events improve youth safety and promote active travel.

By evaluating temporary infrastructure, student behavior, and school-based engagement, the analysis highlighted how low cost, quick build strategies can transform the school commute environment. Three core insights, assessing the impact of low cost pilot infrastructure, applying strategies for expanding active transportation, and analyzing data driven results and behavior trends, framed how the program’s findings can inform countywide planning and policy decisions.
