Alive at 25 is a National Safety Council course recognized in all 50 states.

Alive at 25 is a highly effective four-hour course that serves as an excellent complement to standard driver education programs. Participants in the Alive at 25 class will learn the negative effects and dangers associated with speeding, distractions, peer pressure, and driver inexperience. Topics discussed include, but are not limited to, current state laws related to speeding, impaired driving, and seat belt and cell phone use, including texting. Alive at 25 helps young drivers take greater responsibility for their driving by focusing on behavior, judgement, decision-making and consequences.

Vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 24, and young drivers are at greater risk of being involved in a crash. Crash avoidance is key when attempting to limit financial exposure and reduce liability. Our dynamic and experienced instructors make us uniquely qualified to discuss and instruct on a variety of traffic safety topics.

The class is only four hours, but the knowledge gained will benefit young drivers for a lifetime.

Classes are currently being taught at:

• Ironwood High School
• Raymond S. Kellis High School
• Cactus High School
• Glendale High School
• Independence High School
• Apollo High School
• Deer Valley High School

The Glendale Family Bike Ride is a fun, family event that historically takes place at Sahuaro Ranch Park in the spring. This event takes riders through Glendale neighborhoods and highlights Glendale bicycle lanes and pathways.

The free event is open to all ages and skill levels.

Bicycle Safety Rodeos teach children the skills and precautions they need to ride a bicycle safely in life-like scenarios through a mock 'on the road' course.

For more information on Bicycle Safety in Arizona visit the AZ Department of Public Safety website.

Traffic Education staff partner with the Glendale Police Department and Glendale Fire Department to provide resources and tips to parents and children for a safe Halloween night.

The City of Glendale partners with the Maricopa Association of Governments to provide annual Crossing Guard Workshops. The workshops provide basic education and training to school crossing guards, thus meeting a basic but an essential step to ensure that crossing guards do not compromise their own safety nor that of K-8 school children while performing their duties.

The intent of the workshop and the associated print materials and video is to provide basic safety training for all school crossing guards as a regional road safety initiative. All K-8 schools may utilize this workshop to train their school crossing guards. The responsibility remains with each school for hiring, training, and defining when and where crossing guards are to be on duty.

Workshops are free to participate and are held in July/August. For more information and links to materials visit Maricopa Association of Governments.

Traffic Education staff work with Glendale PD and community partners to provide information and pedestrian safety presentations to elementary students in Glendale public schools in the fall semester as part of the national Walk & Bike to School program. The program supports the nationwide initiative promoting the health and safety of children walking and biking to school and in their communities.
