Reducing traffic-related deaths and injuries to school-aged children and teens has been the mission of Safe Moves for over three decades. Their expertise in designing and launching programs dedicated to encouraging alternative modes of transportation to and from school, educating parents on traffic safety and helping create more walk able and bike able communities, makes them the most sought-after leader in traffic safety in California.

“With over 400,000 elementary school children in the Los Angeles Unified School District, we need innovative programs to reach these kids. Safe Moves fits the bill each and every year with their traffic safety program.”

Carol Takaki, Student Traffic Safety Coordinator, Los Angeles Unified School District

We work closely with schools, school districts, community police and local governments to execute a variety of programs that make school environments and neighborhoods safe and more livable for children and families.
