What % of Students Walk & Bike to School?

Oct 05, 2022

Our parents or grandparents had to walk for miles to school, uphill, in a blizzard (or in searing heat, or in pouring-down rain) both ways?

Of course, we don’t advocate children walking for miles in extreme conditions but a little exercise each day doesn’t hurt.

Being able to walk and ride a bike in the community gives children a strong sense of self-confidence and a better quality of life.

Walk and Bike to School Day encourage a healthy and active lifestyle having the following outcomes:

Reduction in traffic congestion and vehicle speed near schools
Reduction in air pollution (and associated child respiratory effects) and fewer greenhouse gas emissions
Improved academic performance and classroom behavior
Improved social networks between students – also between adults and students
Students learn safe walking and bicycling behavior
Students experience independence and build their self-confidence
Reclamation of community streets so that they are safer for walking and bicycling
Sharing the joys of walking and biking
