Build Routes Visually

Drop pins, draw paths, and snap routes to real roads using our interactive map builder. Add stop details, pickup times, and safety notes.

  • Place stops with names, notes, and approximate pickup windows so families know where to join.
  • Draw or adjust paths on the map and keep your route aligned with low-stress streets where possible.
  • Reuse and duplicate maps when you run multiple bike trains or seasonal routes.

Good to know

Start simple: one route and a few stops. You can refine crossings and timing after your first ride-along.

Organize Groups

Create groups for your school, neighborhood, or bike train team. Invite members and share routes with the people who need them.

  • Create a group for each school, PTA, or neighborhood coalition working on safer routes.
  • Invite co-leaders, teachers, and parent volunteers so planning is not on one person.
  • Keep group-only maps internal while you draft, then publish when you are ready.

Good to know

Groups help you separate audiences—PTA planners vs. school admin—while keeping maps easy to find.

Share with Everyone

Make your map public with a single click. Families can view routes, stops, and schedules without needing an account.

  • Share a single link in newsletters, social posts, or printed flyers.
  • Families see stops and the route without signing up—lower friction for busy parents.
  • Update the map anytime; the same link reflects your latest plan.
