Students and families are encouraged to find new routines to incorporate active transportation to and from school.

Why Walk, Bike, & Roll?

• Health: Just 15–30 minutes of walking or biking a day helps kids build strength and develop healthy habits.
• Focus at School: Students who walk or bike to school arrive more alert, which can boost focus and learning throughout the day.
• Confidence: Traveling to school in a group helps children gain confidence in navigating their neighborhood safely.
• Community: Families, neighbors, and friends connect along the way, building stronger ties to the school community.
• Environmental Impact: Active transportation reduces traffic congestion around the school, creating a cleaner (and safer) environment.
