More than 13,000 Minnesota youth will benefit from the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School Bike Fleet grants that support pedestrian and bicycle safety education in Minnesota schools.
The New York Mills and ISD 197 school districts and Feeling Good Minnesota were awarded bicycle fleets, trailers and supplies to teach bicycle and pedestrian safety. The ISD 197 district includes West St. Paul, Eagan and Mendota Heights. Feeling Good Minnesota is a community collaborative of CentraCare Health.
