We demand safer streets in San Mateo & Foster City for our kids
Just as every child has a right to fair and public education, every child has a right to feel safe on their commute to and from school. Our streets of San Mateo and Foster City are not safe for our students nor residents. Not enough is being done to curb the increase in aggressive driving, excessive speeding, or poor driver behavior.
Join San Mateo 2 mothers who have already started campaigning. They both have had children hit by cars on the way to school this year. You can read their letters to City Council here and Read more on our Vision Zero page

WHO WE ARE
We’re San Mateo parents and community supporters who want to make it joyful, fun, and safe to walk, bike and roll to school together. With creativity and courage, we’re determined to make our roads accessible to active transportation. Our hope is that bike & walk routes to schools are utilized not just during school hours but offer popular routes for all to enjoy.
WHAT WE DO
+ Build community support in town and schools
+ Create rider tools, time tables, and routes
+ Host events and gatherings
+ Advise on transportation infrastructure redesign
WHAT BIKE BUSES DO
A bike bus is an adult-led scheduled bike ride that follows a specific route and timetable. There are bike buses all over the world. By riding with the San Mateo Bike Bus you’re part of a global movement!
WHY IT MATTERS
When kids and adults ride together, there is safety in numbers. We see the Bike Bus as a great way to promote biking in our town—in the hopes of encouraging more people to think about caring for our community, our environment, and making safer streets.
