STN in the Streets
PROJECT SCOPE
STN successfully conducted a traffic safety education campaign to educate, engage, and
empower youth, families, school admin and staff in the local community.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
STN partnered with two local libraries, one museum, four cities, one college & several SBCUSD schools
to provide safety workshops, demos, obstacle courses & live murals.
YOUTH-LED INITIATIVES
Live murals were youth-led and took place at three sites: The Cheech Museum, Alec Fergusson Park in Rialto, and Lytle Creek Park in San Bernardino. The STN team created dialogue amongst attendees that focused on ways to improve pick-up/drop-offs at local schools & how to decrease risk of injury while distracted.
TIMELINE
STN in the Streets campaign took place between June 1st to August 16th, 2024. During this time, the community provided feedback on how to improve pick-up/drop-off sites on school campuses. The feedback was shared with SBCUSD.

Parents! We need your feedback!
Due to high volume of traffic at school campuses, our team continues to collect feedback to help improve traffic flow, circulation, and safety at drop-off/pick-ups for all students. Feedback will continuously be shared with school districts.

Paint LIVE murals at these three events!
Each STN in the Streets LIVE mural event was showcased as one canvas (youth-designed).
All three canvases are displayed as a collective mural at our STN office and often accompany our team at local events.

Our collab with A.K. Smiley Public Library on July 9th was one of the hottest days of the summer. It didn't stop 54 kids from showing up for our safety demo!
The STN team created traffic safety dialogue with youth participants and held space for KnightSkate's founder and IE Night Skate organizer, Jorge Gonzalez, to demo some very important safety tips while on wheels - whether it be roller skates, in-line skates, skateboard, bicycle, or skooter. |
