BOISE, Idaho (February 7, 2026) — The Idaho Walk Bike Alliance (IWBA) has added a new Safety Resources section to its website, expanding access to bicycle and pedestrian safety education statewide.
The new hub—available at idahowalkbike.org/resources—features animations, videos, activity plans, and lesson plans focused on non-motorized transportation safety. The resources are designed for kids, families, educators, and community members to use independently.
The Safety Resources initiative is a collaboration between Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG), Cowboy Ted’s Foundation for Kids, and Southeast Idaho Safe Routes to School. While the partners continue to host in-person Safe Routes to School programs and human-powered transportation events in Southeast Idaho, the online platform allows those materials to reach communities across the state.
“I absolutely love hosting live events for kids and families,” said “Cowboy” Ted Hallisey, executive director of the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance. “But we also want parents, teachers, health professionals, and kids to be able to access our safety resources on their own. With fun animations for younger kids, lesson plans and activity plans for educators, and videos for families, we’re helping Idahoans walk, bike, and roll safely.”
Hallisey and SICOG Safe Routes to School coordinator Haley Reed will continue to collect, create, and share new materials regularly, with a goal of adding a fresh safety resource each week. More than 30 resources are already available. The site also links to cowboyted.com for additional content.
“We hope these safety resources will help kids and families learn how to travel safely in a new and fun way,” Reed said.
IWBA is also coordinating internships and fellowships with Boise State University and the University of Idaho, inviting college students to help create lesson plans, safety videos, animations, and community events for Safe Routes to School and IWBA programs statewide.
“We’re also partnering with media outlets across Idaho to help create and share safety resources and continue growing our online library,” Hallisey said.
