The educational component of WalkSafe consists of a three day curriculum that is taught in the classroom to children in grades K-5. This information is taught yearly at the beginning of October in conjunction with the International Walk to School Day. Using the three main learning modalities (audio, visual, and motor) via formal educational curricula, videos, workbooks, outside simulation activities and art projects, WalkSafe has shown to significantly increase the pedestrian safety knowledge of elementary school children. Our curriculums and training information are available to all schools and teachers on our website, and can be easily accessed upon creating a login.

In collaboration with organizations such as the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Department of Public Works, WalkSafe has created a task force team which helps create the safest possible environments for healthy, active living. WalkSafe facilitates the assessment of sites where children have been hit by cars and the documentation of potential engineering modifications that can be made to prevent future accidents. These detailed reports and important community suggestions are presented on a monthly basis at the Community Traffic Safety Team meetings in Miami-Dade County.

Keeping children safe around school zones is of utmost importance to the WalkSafeTM program. WalkSafe's partnerships with the Police Departments and other community organizations assist in ensuring that our communities are safe environments for healthy, active living. These important partnerships also seek to increase community awareness of enforcement within and around school zones.

Evaluation is a key factor for all programs in achieving and maintaining a higher level of efficiency. WalkSafe uses various forms of evaluation tools to identify and monitor pedestrian safety and health issues. Data collected from teacher and parent surveys, surveillance of injuries, and behavioral research are a few of the evaluation tools that the WalkSafeTM program utilizes.

WalkSafe encourages everyone throughout their communities to help advocate children safely engaging in a healthy, active lifestyle. By participating in many outreach efforts, WalkSafe has become a staple in educating and encouraging others to take part in promoting safe walking environments and healthy behaviors.
