Celebrate International Walk to School Day or Week or Month in October!

Date published: October 13, 2006

Walk to School in October is an energizing event, reminding parents and children alike of the simple joy of walking to school. It also serves as an opportunity to focus on the importance of physical activity, safety, air quality and walkable communities. Walk to School activities often become a catalyst for on-going efforts to increase safe walking and bicycling all of the time. A community can choose whether a day, week, month or even a year of Walk to School activities works best.
