Boltage Program Grows

Two 4J schools, Cal Young Middle and Adams Elementary, are the latest schools to implement the Boltage encouragement program in Eugene. The Boltage ZAP is a solar powered, network connected, RFID reading machine that checks students in when they use active transportation to get to school. Students place an RFID tag on their backpacks and then go under the ZAP meter when they walk, bike, skate, or scoot to or from school.  The more times they use active transportation the more chances they have to win. Three winners are chosen each week! Students can go online to see the number of trips made and the school can keep track of miles traveled. Read More....
 

City to Repave West 24th Avenue with Ped/Bike Improvements

These will be great improvements for safe multi-modal travel through this part of town and we're excited to see the City taking these steps. Read More...
