National Center for Safe Routes to School
The National Center for Safe Routes to School (National Center) is committed to empowering communities to make walking and bicycling to school a safe, appealing, preferred choice for families. The National Center facilitates communities in becoming places for safe walking and bicycling for everyone starting with children and the trip to school. In 2016, we launched the initiative “Vision Zero for Youth,” linking Walk to School Day with communities and elected officials making a commitment to promote safe walking and bicycling and to eliminate fatal and serious traffic crashes.

How To Plan
Walk and Bike to School Day events can be simple or elaborate. A school might start with hosting a big event, and then move to a low key celebration over time as students become more accustomed to walking and biking on a regular basis. Another school might start simple and then build efforts in subsequent years. Read on to learn more about planning the event.
