Teaching Kids Roadway Safety

WEBINAR: June 24, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT

Safety City Knoxville: Teaching Kids Roadway Safety Through Hands-On Learning is a free webinar about Safety City Knoxville, a hands-on miniature “traffic town” where children learn real-world pedestrian, bicycle, traffic, and fire safety skills in a child-sized street network complete with sidewalks, signals, crosswalks, and road signs

Hosted by Center for Pedestrian & Bicyclist Safety (CPBS), this webinar explores how Safety City has evolved from a Knoxville Police Department initiative into a community-centered program operated by Knoxville Parks & Recreation, while maintaining its focus on youth roadway safety education.

For more than 25 years, the program has served as a signature field trip experience for local second grade students, helping thousands of children practice safe decision-making in a realistic but controlled environment.

Attendees will learn how immersive, hands-on environments can improve children’s understanding of walking, bicycling, crossing streets, and interacting safely with traffic, and why programs like Safety City continue to be valuable tools for communities working to improve transportation safety and lifelong mobility habits.
