International Walk Our Children to School Day A
national event can be an amazing impetus for change in
communities. Through annual surveys, local Walk to School Day
coordinators across the country have told us how a simple one-day
event has led to great changes such as long-term walking and
bicycling programs, new sidewalks and pathways, enforcement of
unsafe driving behaviors and needed policy changes at schools and
in communities. Improvements that normally take a long time
to institute can happen quickly when city officials walk or bicycle
to school with students and see firsthand what needs to be
done.Join families, schools and communities as they walk and
bicycle to school for these events each year.

they make, sell, and advertise food to make food safer and to make
it easier for people to eat well and be more physically active.
