Risk Management
About this page
We work to ensure that any students involved in Ride2School at their school are skilled and responsible bike riders, competent road users and careful pedestrians.
-
we train volunteers as Bike Ed instructors to work with teachers in schools.
-
we require that students have completed Bike Ed or an equivalent program to qualify for a bike reward.
Ride2School supports schools using traffic education materials such as the Department of Education's comprehensive "On the Move" program.
Ride2School works with schools and students to identify 4 or 5 recommended Quiet Neighbourhood Routes to school. These provide a less traffic intensive environment for students who walk and ride, and also encourage more community involvment by creating a greater mass of students on particular routes.
Ride2School encourages schools to open gates for riders and walkers which are separate from those used by students arriving or leaving in cars. In this way conflicts between riders and walkers and cars are reduced.
