Since 2016, the Let’s Go program has taught children safe biking skills through physical education classes in greater Seattle-area schools. The program was expanded and the curriculum was redesigned to be more inclusive of walking as part of active transportation that same year. Today, the Let's Go curriculum is the result of the collaboration between bicycle and pedestrian safety educators, transportation professionals, neighborhood safe street advocates, curriculum specialists, teachers, adapted physical education specialists, and school administrators.

The Edmonds Let’s Go Program operates in all elementary and middle schools within the city, serving students in grades three through eighth. The program provides Edmonds School District physical education teachers with a 5-lesson, elementary, in-class bike and pedestrian safety curriculum and an 8-lesson, middle school, in-class bike and pedestrian safety curriculum. Cascade maintains and delivers all bike fleets, helmets, and curriculum materials. Additionally, Cascade provides in-class support and teacher training.
Funding for the program is made possible through the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
