What: Bike and Walk to School Day encourages students to bike or walk to school while teaching them about the health and environmental benefits of biking and walking. Bike and Walk to School Day also helps to raise community awareness about the importance of bicycle and pedestrian safety education, safe routes to schools, well-maintained walkways, and traffic calming in our neighborhoods and around our schools.
This energizing event reminds parents and students alike of the simple joy of biking and walking to school while focusing attention on the importance of physical activity, air quality, safety, and bike-able, walkable communities.
Check with your student's school to find out what activities they have planned for that morning, or just give biking or walking to school a chance alongside millions of other students across the country.
