Make a pledge to Walk to School!
Walking to school is a great way to start your day. Walking to school with your child also gives you time to talk and socialize with your child and neighbors while reinforcing healthy behaviors.
This year Explore KC, a program of the Mid-America Regional Council, and BikeWalkKC have combined efforts to promote walking and biking to school for the International Walk to School Day, October 9.
By taking the pledge to walk to school, we are able to make the following programs available to communities and schools through our Safe Routes to School initiatives:
- Register and participate in International Walk to School Day
- Organize and implement a Walking school bus program
- Organize and implement a Bike Train program
- Offer safety classes for kids by trained professionals
- Organize Mileage Clubs and Contests
- And perform School Walkability Audits
