Fresno bike program secures state grant for safety education
Fresno is betting that teaching kids to ride bikes safer could help transform one of America's deadliest cities for cyclists. The city's Parks and Fresno, California, has secured a $325,000 state grant for a youth bicycle and pedestrian safety education program. The training is part of a community-based program, which has been successful in building a cycling culture in Bay Area cities like Palo Alto. The grant will fund bicycle training courses for youth, helmet fitting and distribution, school presentations, walking field trips with seniors, and events distributing reflective gear and bike lights. The funding comes as Fresno recorded the largest bike safety score improvement among major U.S. cities in 2024.
