Intercity Transit’s ‘Walk and Roll’ program aims to promote alternative transportation options to single-occupancy cars.
One of their initiatives encourages children and adults to opt for bicycles for commuting and enjoyable exercise. To achieve this, they provide a bike education program to K-12 schools across Thurston County and some adult programs.
Starting February 4th, during early release Wednesday afternoons, Intercity Transit’s team will collaborate with Capital High School students for eight weeks. These sessions will consist of two and a half-hour training sessions.
Walk and Roll will arrive at CHS with a van and trailer loaded with bikes, bike helmets, and other safety and bike maintenance equipment. They typically work with approximately 10 to 12 students to teach them about safe bike riding, bike maintenance, and the joy of group rides around OLY’s westside.
Upon completion, students will receive a brand new bike, bike helmet, bike lock, and a set of lights.
