The Maine Safe Routes to School research project focuses on what needs to be done to increase students bicycling and walking to school. We are happy to include information here on the benefits of bicycling and walking to school as well as safety tips. This information will also be included in the future on the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) site. Stay tuned for updates!
