Solano County elementary and middle school students are being asked to “think outside the car” and design a poster to encourage their classmates to walk, bike or ride a scooter to school instead of getting to school by car. The poster should show proper use of traffic safety laws, such as wearing a bike helmet, crossing the street in a crosswalk, or riding a bike with the flow of traffic.

The poster contest is sponsored by the Solano Safe Routes to School program and is open to Solano County students from transitional kindergarten to 8th grade. The First Place winner will receive a bike and bike helmet and the Runner Up winner will receive a $100 gift certificate.

Prizes will be awarded in each of the following grade categories: TK-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th.
