Yes, you are allowed to grieve the passing of summer.  But, no, that doesn't give you permission to store your bicycle and walking shoes for the rainy season. (Plus, we've still got plenty of sun left yet.)

The Transportation Options team has two great classes and our annual Safe Routes to School campaign to keep you braving the elements!

Back to School is Cool with Safe Routes

The Portland Safe Routes to School program will once again be working with 2^nd to 5^th grade students at nearly 70 schools to help them learn how to be safe pedestrians and bicyclists. To find out more about Safe Routes to School, go to www.SafeRoutesPortland.org.
