Let’s keep the momentum going!

Walk to School Day 2021 saw more than 2,800 registered participants across the country walking, biking, or rolling to school throughout October! Following the excitement of Walk to School Day, communities are looking toward a future that continues active, safe routes to school for students everywhere.

Most past Walk and Bike to School Day coordinators report that their events led to changes to policies or the physical environment in their communities – the kinds of changes needed to support safe walking and biking every day, not just for special events. Check out Beyond the Event for more information about walking and biking year-round and student education.

Mark your calendar for National Bike to School Day on May 4, 2022, and get ready to bring attention to the value and joy of safe walking and rolling!

Getting Back to School Together

As communities continue adjusting to the impacts of the pandemic, schools are welcoming students back to campus. Resources from the Committee on Safe Healthy Journeys to School During the COVID-19 Pandemic Beyond help support safe travel for students for in-person school. The Getting Back to School Together webpages include key strategies for school travel, school travel guidance,  12 school community strategies implemented during the pandemic that might work anywhere.

Re-envisioning School Streets

Cities and schools working together can support safe walking and biking for students along with other benefits by closing or limiting motor vehicle access on a street adjacent to a school.

In Re-envisioning School Streets: Creating More Space for Children and Families, five case examples demonstrate how schools and cities have made temporary and permanent changes to support active travel.
