City of Toledo Safe-T-City Program

    Safe T-City is a child pedestrian and traffic safety program combined with a life safety course. This program is conducted for children entering kindergarten in the up-coming school year. Safe T-City includes classroom instruction and outdoor practice in a miniature city complete with streets, sidewalks, small buildings, traffic lights and stop signs.

    The children are assigned to classes (no more than 18 children per class) with a certified instructor. During the 20 hour course the children learn, through participation, in a setting of simulated real-life situations. Guest speakers from different community agencies help the children learn through songs, poems, art projects, stories, and movies. Police officers teach pedestrian safety on the streets of Safe T-City. The different lessons provide an enjoyable learning experience.
