North Natomas Flyer Heroes

In the beginning there was traffic congestion, but deep beneath the noxious gases heroes emerged. Commuting downtown on the Flyer Shuttle saves money and punches out traffic. By riding the Flyer, local heroes combat evil smog and protect our air.

Meet our heroes!

goTOGETHER: Project Ride Smart

Project Ride Smart is a 5th grade driver's education program - for bikes. This comprehensive bicycle safety program teaches traffic principles and on-bike handling skills. The 10 hour course culminates with street rides where students apply what they have learned to their local neighborhood streets - giving them the knowledge and experience to travel safely to and from school. Project Ride Smart is taught by certified bike instructors.

 

goTOGETHER: How to Use the Flyer Shuttle Bike Rack

Each Flyer Shuttle is equipped with a fold-down bike rack that can accommodate up to three bicycles.

  • Use bike during the day to run errands, attend meetings around town, or enjoy a recreational ride during lunch.
  • Extend your commute - bike to your workplace from the Flyer Shuttle's downtown loop.

  • Improves student's self-confidence and independence
  • The more families walk and bike to school, the safer it is around schools
  • Reduces traffic congestion and pollution around schools
  • Great way to increase positive social interaction for kids, parents and the community
  • It's fun!
