You're stopped at a red light. A pedestrian crosses the street in record time, yet UNTIL the crossing signal completes its timed cycle, you're idling. Imagine a new beacon, which allows you to proceed with caution, once the crosswalk is clear. Introducing pedestrian crossing hybrid beacons! We believe these new beacons (in select intersections) will promote walking, shorten delays, make drivers happier, save fuel and lessen air pollution. Learn more about how they work.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation, these schools are participating in Safe Routes to School to champion safe walking and bicycling. We're happy to announce Bauder, Olander, Riffenburgh, Shepardson, and Blevins will participate this fall. Don't see your school on the list?  Stay tuned over the summer as we identify the remaining five schools.

It's time to have fun in the sun, but remember the safe walking and bicycling skills you learned this year!  Check out this series of videos created by Pueblo Active Community Environments (PACE) and Colorado Safe Routes to School to stay fresh.
