Request Bike/Ped Safety Education
Maine’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education program is an innovative partnership of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM) and the Maine Department of Transportation. The program provides:
  • Instruction to all-ages via presentations, hands-on workshops, and experiential riding programs
  • Management of the Maine Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program to encourage students to bike and walk to school
  • Education and information to communities about program, policy, and infrastructure options to improve walking and biking conditions
  • Education to all roadway users about how to safely, legally and courteously share the road

REQUIREMENT: In hosting an instructor we ask that you provide feedback through a post-visit evaluation form, which will be emailed to you following completion of the safety education event. 

We depend on the availability of instructors in your area to provide you with programming and make every effort to fill all requests. Want to teach with us? 

HELMETS: If you need a small amount of helmets then support a local bicycle shop (find your nearest shop). For bulk numbers you can purchase inexpensive online helmets from ProRider Helmets.
