Fact: walking and biking to school helps students meet their recommended daily physical activity, arrive to school on-time and ready to learn, and encourages them to develop healthy, active lifestyle habits!

But if unsafe conditions prevent students from getting to school on-foot or on-bike, they miss out on the many benefits that walking and biking to school can provide.

The good news? You can help make sure that students can safely walk and bike to school everyday in your local community by participating in our Safe Routes to School Walk Audits!

The Walk Audit is a 90-minute opportunity to observe the drop-off or pick-up time at your school of interest, discuss safety barriers to students safely walking or biking, and brainstorm potential solutions. Our Safe Routes team will put the information from the discussion in a report that will be sent to the schools and elected officials for use during project and program planning.
