Walk or Bike to School

Walk or Bike to School Day is an opportunity for adults to join children in Alaska, and throughout the world, to walk, on this day. Before winter sets in, walk with your child to see how walking to school really is with them. Is it safe? Where is it not safe? Why?

As the adventure begins, search the internet about Walk or Bike to School day. What are children in other states doing? What are kids around the world doing? What looks like fun? What looks safe? How can I be "more safe" as I try to walk or bike to school?

The goal of the Safe Routes to School Program is to encourage kids to walk and bike safely to school, where it is safe. And where it's not safe, make it safe.

Join others in walking to school with your child and be a part of learning how to make our community "more safe."

Register your school and get resources for creating a successful event in your community!
