…encouraging students and families to consider biking or walking as a mode of transportation to school.

Every smile, wobbly first turn, and burst of confidence reminds us why this work matters — helping kids discover the joy and freedom that come with safe, active travel.

@ksdknews Correction: Trailnet is NOT a partner/participant in MoDOT’s Heads Up campaign, we were just in attendance. We commented about the rise in pedestrian & bicycle deaths as the local advocacy organization. We appreciate KSDK making the change to the online story.
