The Prevention Gap

Youth mobility risk is rising. Structured prevention isn't keeping pace.

Youth mobility incidents are rising — appearing on dispatch logs, ER reports, and community news feeds — while most communities still have no structured readiness program for the age group most at risk. Departments that act now establish prevention credibility before incidents define the narrative — and access grant categories that weren't available before.

How WheelWISE Fits

A prevention system — not another assembly.

WheelWISE is a structured, repeatable youth readiness program your department can attach its mission to — delivered in schools, community centers, or recreation programs.

Structured prevention curriculum

12 sessions covering awareness, gear, street smarts, and peer influence — delivered through the W.I.S.E. decision cycle. Ready to run.

  • Four curriculum domains, each with facilitator guide
  • Pre/post assessments to document behavioral change
  • Runs in 12-week, 6-week, or intensive formats

Designed for SRO and department delivery

School resource officers and community liaison staff can facilitate using the included session guides — no educator certification required.

  • Full facilitation guides written for non-teachers
  • SRO presence becomes a positive engagement model
  • Department name on completion credentials

Community-facing and documentable

Every cohort generates measurable output: completion rates, pre/post assessment data, and a peer safety project your department can present in community meetings and grant reports.

  • Completion reports ready for grant documentation
  • Student PSA projects are shareable community assets
  • Visibility for partner agencies on all materials
The W.I.S.E. System

Behavior change is built in — not bolted on.

Every WheelWISE session runs through a four-phase decision cycle — Watch, Investigate, Share, Empower — alongside four character traits: Wonder, Integrity, Service, Empathy. Students practice real judgment in every session, not just receive information.

Community Outcomes

Prevention compounds. Documentation proves it.

Every WheelWISE cohort generates documented outcomes your department can point to — in community meetings, grant reports, and press releases.

  • Documented reduction in unsafe riding behaviors Pre/post assessment data shows decision-making growth across each cohort — measurable, reportable, and repeatable.
  • Stronger youth awareness and peer leadership Program graduates earn the Safety Ambassador credential — and continue influencing peer behavior beyond the program cycle.
  • Proactive prevention culture in schools Schools shift from reactive discipline to proactive readiness norms — a lasting community culture outcome.
  • Positive agency visibility in the community Department co-branding on credentials, materials, and student PSA projects — sustained visibility, not a one-day event.
  • Grant-ready documentation Completion reports and program summaries formatted for grant applications and community safety plans.
  • Stronger school and community collaboration A repeatable touchpoint that deepens your department's relationship with local schools every program cycle.

Live Data Tools

Real data. Structured for instruction and prevention.

WheelWISE sessions integrate two live data tools — designed for classroom projection or department presentations. Use them to brief school partners, justify grant requests, or run youth outreach activities.

Injury Dashboard

Who is getting hurt — and where.

National and regional e-bike and e-scooter injury data by age group, body region, and mechanism of injury. Updated from CPSC NEISS, Rady Children's, and AAOS sources. Built for briefing leadership, school boards, and grant panels.

  • ·Ages 11–14 account for 38.3% of pediatric e-scooter injuries
  • ·ER visits up 80%+ year-over-year
  • ·#1 cause of pediatric trauma at Rady Children's (2025)
Open Injury Dashboard →
Laws Dashboard

The patchwork students are expected to navigate.

State-by-state e-bike and e-scooter law comparison. Departments use this to communicate the legal landscape to youth, parents, and partner schools — and to support community education programming with accurate, current data.

  • ·44 states define e-bikes — rules vary widely
  • ·22+ states have no e-scooter law at all
  • ·Compare two states side-by-side; filter by helmet and age laws
