Eugene-Springfield Safe Routes to School

We largely focus publicly on sharing the joy of and skills for active and shared travel. But behind the scenes, SRTS works with local governments and nonprofits as well as community members to play our part in moving our communities towards improved safety. We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and serious injuries taking place on our streets and look forward to a future where it's safer for everyone in our communities to move freely.

Be aware of flooded shared use paths, and for those people driving, expect to see people biking and walking where you wouldn't normally find them.

We love Shift Community Cycles and all that they do for our community! You can have fun working on bikes with them, no matter your skill or experience level.

👀Join us at our new space! We’ve got open times for volunteers to wrench on bikes or help in other ways. Hope to you there soon! 🚲🎉

Please share your thoughts on Polk Street bike lanes!

🚲 Help Shape the Future of Polk Street!

The City of Eugene is exploring adding bike lanes to Polk Street, a key connection between the Whiteaker and Friendly neighborhoods. We want your input!

Polk Street is a popular route for biking, but without dedicated bike lanes, it can feel unsafe. Adding bike lanes would improve safety for everyone, but it could mean changes like removing on-street parking.

Your voice matters! Share your feedback, take the survey, and learn more about the project:

Turn your used bike from clutter into a gift!

Did you get a new bike over the holidays? Maybe it's time to donate your old one! On January 17th from 11am - 3pm we will be accepting bicycle donations at all Market of Choice locations in Eugene. Let us give your old bike a new life and give it to a child who needs one.
