International Walk to School Day
International Walk to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than forty countries walking and biking to school on the same day.
It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Over time, this event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration, with record breaking participation, each October. Today, thousands of schools across America, from all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, participate every October.
