EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK SAFE MOVES RODEOS Ideal bicycle and pedestrian safety education must couple an intellectual understanding of bicycle rules and regulations, with `hands-on' experience. The Safe Moves City Traffic Rodeos provide students with an opportunity to practice what they have learned in their school assemblies. The Safe Moves City obstacle course features sidewalks, streets, crosswalks signals, traffic signs, driveways, railroad tracks, trains, alleyways, cars, dogs, houses and garages with driveways, storefronts... over forty realistic traffic situations students encounter each and every day as they `walk, ride and roll' through their communities. By challenging the students' ability to recognize and react to traffic situations, they learn to anticipate and react safely, and become safe commuters. Each bicyclist receives one-on-one training from a safety instructor. The instructor's responsibilities include evaluating the current level of understanding of traffic laws and the level of bicycle skills. The course is used to improve the level of understanding and performance. Students are given an evaluation of their performance. and a checklist of areas they need to work on with their parents. The mechanics of the bicvcle rodeo: 1. Logistics Rodeos will be set up on school playgrounds or parking lots and will be conducted during the school day. Students participate by class according to a pre -determined schedule. Each class averages about 20 minutes to complete the course. The rodeo accommodates I st through 8th grades. 2.

After registration is complete, the student takes a written quiz on bicycle safety. The quiz ( 7 multiple choice questions and a game) is reviewed and corrected by rodeo staff. Each participant receives a hand stamp to indicated that he/she has been properly registered. 3. Bicycle and Helmet Inspection Each bicyclist who brings their own bicycle to the rodeo will have it inspected by rodeo staff.
