Texas Children’s Hospital’s Center for Childhood Injury Prevention (CCIP) helps children develop the skills they need to walk and bike safely in their communities. Through school assemblies, classroom education, and hands-on demonstrations, children learn essential pedestrian safety skills, including using crosswalks, looking both ways before crossing, and increasing their visibility to drivers.
This site also hosts interactive bicycle rodeos that teach children safe cycling practices, including proper bike and helmet selection, helmet fitting, bicycle checks, and safe riding behaviors. Programs prioritize communities where children may face additional challenges due to limited safe walking and biking infrastructure.
As micromobility device (e-bike/e-scooter) injuries increase, programming is being added to empower parents and caregivers to make safer choices around these devices.
