Thanks to Christian for forwarding this to me. SRTS is one of the top priority actions in our bicycle plan. This webinar might also be interesting and applicable to the plans we discussed last week for Bike to Work week, i.e. the Bike Train/Bike Brigade.
I registered for the webinar. It took 1 minute.

Safe Routes Coaching Action Network Webinar - March 13th (1pm ET) Building a SRTS Bike Brigade: Tips on Getting Started and Spreading the Success
Presenters: Lauren Marchetti, Director, National Center for Safe Routes to School Kiel Johnson, Founder of Bike Train PDX Gina Overshiner, Bike Program Manager, PedNet Coalition, Columbia, Missouri
When most people think of Safe Routes to School, walking is the first thing that comes to mind. However, cycling is another healthy, fun, and efficient way for children to travel to and from school and is a growing part of Safe Routes to School Programs across the country. Developing ways to encourage people to bike to school is a crucial component of expanding the reach of these Programs. By including bicycling in our Safe Routes to School toolkits we are able to potentially reach those living further away from their school.
In this sixty-minute webinar, we will discuss two successful Bike Train/Bike Brigade programs and provide insight into how you can replicate their success within your own SRTS programs. Lauren Marchetti, Director of the National Center for Safe Routes to School, will begin the presentation with a brief introduction and discussion of National Bike to School Day. Next, Kiel Johnson, Founder of Bike Train PDX, will share invaluable tips on how to get a bike train running from the ground up. Kiel helped organize a successful bike train from Beach School in Portland, Oregon. Using that as a model, Kiel has spread bike trains to schools throughout the City. And finally, Gina Overshiner, Bike Program Manager for PedNet Coalition in Columbia Missouri, will discuss how she built a Middle School Bike Brigade which rides every day, in conjunction with a school Bike Club and Bicycle Safety Education classes. Gina will be joined by one of the seventh-grade girls, who bikes to school daily.
This webinar is part of the Safe Routes to School Coaching Action Network Webinar Series, developed by America Walks and the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
