Choosing Your Route

Whether planning a walk or a biking trip, Google Maps (see the walking and biking tabs) might be helpful. Look for low to medium volume streets with lower speeds and supportive infrastructure like stop signs, stop lights and overhead flashers. Or use the Beaverton School District preferred walking and biking routes map which uses the same criteria to highlight safe routes near each of our District schools. Try choosing the elementary, middle or high school nearest you and select a route. With less traffic on our streets, this is a great time to practice your student’s route to school.
