Steps to Obtain a Bike Safety Permit. 

Steps to Obtain a Bike Safety Permit. 

 

Step 1: Carefully Read the following:

The District is committed to ensuring the safety of students who commute to and from school on e-bicycles and bicycles.

  • In a collaborative effort between Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD), the California Highway Patrol (CHP), and Providence Mission Hospital, we are pleased to introduce an E-Bicycle/Bicycle Safety course for CUSD students. 

  • There are new requirements that include a dedicated safety course, safety video, safety expectations, and attestation for families and students who commute to school using e-bikes or bicycles.

  • Riding your Bike, E-bike or any form of student generated transportation to school is not a RIGHT, it is a PRIVILEGE. 

  • As safety is our priority, students must both consistently exhibit bike safety and responsible behaviors and decision making while at school. 

  • Note: A student’s Bike Permit can be revoked for all or part of the school year for either unsafe bike behaviors or earning 5 or more behavior demerits* at school. 

  • Students with 4 or more demerits who have a bike permit will be notified. 

  • Students who lose their bike permit will lose bike riding privileges for a minimum of two weeks with the possibility of losing it for the remainder of the quarter or entire school year. 

  • Students with 5+ demerits will have an opportunity to work-off demerits through campus beautification during any of the minimum days.  1 hour=1 demerit. 

*A demerit is a CUSD tracking system that documents consequences for behaviors.  

 

STEP 2: Complete the Bike Safety Course
