Save Routes to School

Encouragement Strategies

• Host special or themed events.
• Sponsor a Walk or Bike to School Day using route walkability and bikeability checklists.
• Use a saturation project – design a year-long focus on walking or bicycling that takes students and the community from safety education through a variety of events to small improvement projects that build momentum for bicycling or walking.
• Start mileage clubs and contests.
• Host an ongoing walking and bicycling activities, such as walking school buses, bicycle trains, park and walk activities, and routine on-campus/school grounds walks.
