Welcome Back! Try a New Way to Get to School

How’s your student getting to school this year? Walking, biking, rolling, or riding the bus can be a great way to start the day with some movement and more independence.

If your student is trying a new way to get to school, test out the route ahead of time. Try walking or biking to school, or practice getting to the bus stop together. Pro tip: the best walking or biking route isn’t always the same route you’d drive!

Need help getting started?

  • Plan your route: Find your school’s walking and biking map at Safe Routes to School.

  • Ride the bus: Check 4J bus eligibility and find route information at 4J Bus Routes. All 4J students can also get a free LTD Student Transit Pass at their school’s front office.

  • Learn to ride: Free, all-ages Learn to Ride events are happening August 30 and September 22. Learn more

  • Ride smart: Bikes and scooters are fun, healthy ways to get around. By state law, e-bikes and e-scooters are for ages 16 and up, and e-motos are not legal to ride on public streets at any age. Learn more here.

  • Have questions? Contact 4J Safe Routes to School Coordinator Sarah Mazze at mazze_s@4j.lane.edu.

Here’s to a great start to the school year—and more ways to get where you’re going!
