No parent should have to worry if their child will make it safely to school. But every day, kids in our communities face dangerous streets—faded crosswalks, speeding drivers, and missing sidewalks that put them at risk.
At Circulate San Diego, we work directly with school-age children to conduct pedestrian audits—teaching them how to assess their neighborhoods for safety and advocate for improvements. These hands-on experiences help kids become active participants in shaping safer streets, fostering independence and confidence.
On a recent pedestrian audit with a school in Chula Vista, we discovered faded crosswalks and drivers failing to yield to pedestrians, highlighting the urgent need for improvements in the area. After these audits, we take action—submitting service requests to the respective cities for the most dangerous issues we observe. This year, we’ve already seen progress, with one request resolved in National City and several submitted in the City of San Diego.
With your support, we can continue this vital work and ensure every child has a safe path to school. Together, we can create safer, healthier communities through direct engagement and strong policy advocacy.
