Why Walk, Bike, or Roll?

☑ Improved traffic safety habits and increased confidence for students through opportunities to learn about and practice road safety, inspiring confidence and independence.

☑ Increased daily physical activity, forming healthy habits that can last a lifetime, helping children build strong bones, muscles and joints, and decreasing the risk of chronic disease and obesity.

☑ Students who are ready to learn, who are healthy, awake and alert, with better focus and concentration, which can improve academic performance.

☑ Solutions to transportation issues such as dangerous traffic congestion at pick up/ drop off times and student absences and tardiness due to transportation challenges.

☑ Increased family and community engagement, providing positive social opportunities for students, families, school staff, and community stakeholders, boosting a sense of community and improving neighborhood connections.

☑ A cleaner environment and fewer student asthma attacks by reducing air pollution from car emissions.

☑ Savings on gas and money by replacing car trips to school with walking.

☑ It’s fun! Walking brings a sense of joy and independence.
