As the coordinator of the Safe Routes to School program, Ashleigh Curry is a passionate advocate for creating healthier, more active communities - one step and one pedal at a time.

Her work focuses on empowering students and families to embrace active travel by making school routes safer, more accessible and more inviting. Under her leadership, the Safe Routes to School program at Las Cruces Public Schools is more than a transportation initiative - it's a movement that inspires healthy habits, strengthens community connections and promotes long-term sustainability. With every sidewalk improvement, crosswalk campaign and bike safety workshop, Ashleigh is paving the way for a healthier, more connected future for children and families across our community.
