What's Safety Town?

Since 1972  - Tigard Safety Town, home of Tommy the Traffic Light. Safety Town is an eight day program that teaches children ages 5 & 6 about safety through the use of live speakers, films, art projects, music and hands on activities such as riding Kett Cars in our own little Safety Town! Children learn about bicycle, pedestrian, water, home, fire, electrical, poison, and personal safety.

This community-based volunteer program partners with organizations like the Tigard Police Department, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, and more to provide meaningful safety instruction in a fun environment. The purpose of our program is to empower children to make safe choices at home, in school and in their community.
