Alameda County High Schoolers Lead Efforts to Boost Safe and Active Transportation

Designed by Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools Youth Task Force members, Reboot Your Commute events provide student leadership experience and encourage active and shared transportation.

ALAMEDA COUNTY, Calif. – Across Alameda County, students are preparing to lead “Reboot Your Commute,” two months of fun and engaging events supported by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) that inspire fellow classmates to be creative and thoughtful about the impact of their transportation choices. Presented by the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) Program, Reboot Your Commute events will take place at participating Alameda County high schools between Monday, February 2 and Friday, March 31, 2026.

Reboot Your Commute encourages high school students to walk, roll (e.g., bike, skate, scoot, and use wheelchairs and other mobility devices), carpool, and take transit to school. During these events, students share their transportation and travel stories through drawing and creative writing to foster a schoolwide conversation about how travel choices affect their community, environment, health, and well-being.
