Bicycle Helmet & Lock Initiative
Bicycle safety and education is an integral part of the Champaign-Urbana Safe Routes to School Project’s (C-U SRTS) mission. C-U SRTS has a supply of bicycle locks and helmets that we would like to distribute to students in the community who need them but may not be able to purchase them on their own. We realize that teachers know their students best, and would know which students have need of this assistance. We also believe that the faculty and staff would know the best way to fairly distribute these supplies to their students. Therefore, we have created this application to give schools the opportunity to receive the bike locks and helmets.
Equipment: Applicants can request up to 15 helmets and 15 locks. The helmets come in a variety of sizes designed to fit children and youth and the locks will all be standard combination cable locks. |
