Walk to School Day is Here!

It's national Walk to School Day! This event, originally organized to raise awareness of the need for walkable communities, has built quite a response since its start in 1997. Over time, the day has grown not only to encourage walking, but biking and any other form of active transportation to inspire kids to keep moving and meet their physical activity needs. Need more reasons to celebrate the day? How about healthier habits, cleaner air, connecting with your environment and community, just to name a few. Let’s help make sure kids can walk and bike safely to school today with these recommendations laid out in our infographic below.
