Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services Receives Grant for Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education
This year’s funding will go toward various educational activities including:
- Bike and pedestrian rodeos, a fun and interactive way for youth to learn how to be a safe pedestrian and cyclist.
- Safety workshops and presentations for all ages.
- Pop-up events throughout the City that will feature engaging, hands-on learning opportunities, with a focus on areas with high collision rates or new mobility infrastructure. Participants can also receive bike and pedestrian safety equipment such as bike lights, reflective zipper pulls, and helmets.
Educational efforts will include outreach to drivers in addition to pedestrian and bicyclists. Drivers are encouraged to avoid distractions while driving, such as the use of cell phones. Pedestrians and bicyclists are urged to look for parked cars that may be pulling out or opening a door as well as make themselves visible by wearing bright clothing during the day and reflective materials at night.
