Partners & Projects

As a 501(c)3 non-profit program, BikeSafe operates on grants from local, state, and federal organizations along with the generosity of donations made directly to the KiDZ Neuroscience Center - our center for youth injury prevention that is the home of both BikeSafe and WalkSafe at the University of Miami's Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.

This funding has made the following projects - both past and present - possible, allowing BikeSafe to perform traffic safety research while simultaneously reaching youths and parents throughout Greater Miami with life-saving educational programs and informational content.
