Date: June 24, 2026
Time: 11:00 am to 12:00 pm PT
Cost: Free
Continuing Education Credits: Unknown
Organization: Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS)

Safety City Knoxville is 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. 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.

This webinar will explore how Safety City has evolved from a Knoxville Police Department initiative into a community-centered program operated by Knoxville Parks and Recreation, while maintaining its focus on youth roadway safety education. 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.
