BEYOND WALK DAY/WEEK
Walk to School can be more than a one-event activity. Children need safe places to walk in their neighborhoods. If places are livable, everyone needs the option to walk between home, school, stores and parks. Consider holding monthly or weekly walk-to-school events, or starting a Walking School Bus, or a PACE car program. Help to fund, train and equip crossing guards. Civilize traffic in your neighborhood through a mix of education, enforcement and engineering. This site can guide you to explore all of these options.
