Walk & Roll to School Week
Our annual Bike and Walk encouragement event for kids, families, and schools!
Walk & Roll to School Week is a weeklong effort that teaches children how to safely enjoy the health benefits of walking and biking. With the support of Safe Routes to School Programs and working with schools, community organizations, and parents, Bike Easy gets more students biking and walking to school through educational events.
During the school year, Bike Easy partners with various schools to provide in-classroom pedestrian and bicycle safety training for students. Walk & Roll to School Week is a way for schools to celebrate students who walk or bike to school & encourage active transportation!
All schools throughout the region are encouraged to participate during Walk & Roll to School Week in 2017. For handouts and educational materials, see Downloads section.
