Emphasis will be on bicycling to school and transportation, building and expanding on the bicycle education curriculum provided to students in grades 5 through 8 and encouraging increased bicycle trips. EDUCATION The Anacortes School District is currently implementing Bicycle and Pedestrian Education as part of the Physical Education (PE) curriculum at elementary and middle schools. The District will continue to provide pedestrian training including a classroom session and walking field trips for practical experience to grades 1 through 4 students and provide a Bike Pedestrian program for grades 5 through 8 students. Anacortes SRTS is not proposing any additional education at the school level but will focus on educating parents and community members who will be recruited to help with encouragement activities. The District will partner with Healthy communities, and Anacortes Bikes and Walks to conduct League of American bicyclists education programs in the community targeted to parents, district staff and volunteers at no cost. Anacortes Bikes and Walks is a community-based partnership of community members including the City who are working to gain Bicycle Friendly Community status. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 4 of 5 ENCOURAGEMENT Anacortes SRTS will work with Anacortes School District, Healthy Communities and Anacortes Bikes and Walks to plan, design, and implement bide riding encouragement campaign focused primarily on Anacortes Middle School and Island View students. While the District has provided Anacortes walking and biking encouragement in the past, the focus was not targeted to the middle schools. In this campaign, the District will focus on the middle schools and encourage biking to school over walking to school. Under this agreement, the District will acquire the materials and develop the strategies to build a campaign to increase biking and walking to school as an ongoing effort beyond the terms of this agreement. Based upon the District's studies, the use of similar type of bicycle encouragement programs implemented in other school districts will be used for Anacortes in addition to building on the education programs already in place. The District will undertake forming a middle school bicycle club to build on the existing education program as part of the encouragement component and engage students in helping to encourage others to bicycle to school.
