This web site is the result of a partnership between the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Bicycle Colorado in order to disseminate information about the Colorado Safe Routes to School program.

In 2009, CDOT distributed $350,000 to schools and communities across the state. Through its partnership with CDOT, Bicycle Colorado has directly educated more than 13,500 students and trained teachers across the state in implementing their own Safe Routes to School programs.

Colorado Safe Routes to School (SRTS) uses a comprehensive approach to make school routes safe for children when walking and bicycling to school. CDOT administers Colorado's SRTS program. In Colorado, many communities, parents and schools are fostering a safe environment for their students by using SRTS programs to not only fund education and safe infrastructure, but also to encourage healthy and safe walking and bicycling options for their children.

Bicycle Colorado is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a bicycle-friendly Colorado. The organization is supported by over 7,000 members who believe in working together to protect the rights of bicyclists throughout the state of Colorado. The mission of Bicycle Colorado is to encourage and promote bicycling, increase safety, improve conditions, and provide a voice for Bicyclists in Colorado.
