Why walk or bike to school?

Bike to School Day can help communities connect with many issues they care about whether it’s creating safer routes to school, building a sense of community, or inspiring families to use their feet for the school commute more often.
Each year participation in this event grows. More than 2,600 communities registered events on walkbiketoschool.org in 2016 and even more participated but didn’t register online.
Events are an easy way for students and families to try walking and bicycling to school with little commitment.
Bike to School Day events lead to more walking and bicycling throughout the school year and encourage communities to launch ongoing walking and bicycling programs.
Bike to School Day events can help encourage communities to implement policy or engineering changes that make it safer to walk and bike to school. In 2016, nearly 70% of event organizers indicated that their event led to planned, or already completed policy or engineering changes.

About Bike to School Day

The first-ever National Bike to School Day took place on May 9, 2012, in coordination with the League of American Bicyclists' National Bike Month. The event provides an opportunity for schools across the country to join together to celebrate and to build off of the energy of National Bike Month. Bike to School Day builds on the popularity of Walk to School Day, which is celebrated across the country – and the world – each October. Many communities and schools have been holding spring walk and bicycle to school events for years.
