Are you ready to join the movement for active transportation? Walk Bike Roll Day is happening this Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023, and you don’t want to miss it. This nationwide event encourages students, parents, and teachers to walk, bike, or roll to school. By promoting active transportation, we can create safer, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
Walking, biking, or rolling to school is not only good for our physical health, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and our carbon footprint. With Walk Bike Roll Day just days away, it’s time to get excited about the many benefits of active transportation.
Tired of the long car line at school drop-off? Be part of the solution by walking to school! You don’t have to walk all the way to participate! Lisbon schools are meeting at a park a half mile away and walk to school together. No event is too small as long as active transportation is part of your Wednesday commute!
Participating in Walk Bike Roll Day is easy and fun. You can organize a walking school bus with your neighbors, or join a bike parade with your classmates. Parents can also encourage their children to walk, bike, or roll to school, or even join them for the trip. Whatever your family chooses to do, the goal is to have fun and promote active transportation.
Not sure where to start? Anyone can register their school or family for Walk Bike Roll Day on the official website. You can also connect with other schools and families in your area and share ideas and inspiration. Even if it is just you and your loved ones walking, biking, or rolling, register your school and be part of this national event!
Walk Bike Roll Day is a great opportunity to try out active transportation and discover the benefits for yourself. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it and how little time it takes. Walking, biking, or rolling to school can also create a sense of community and school spirit among students, parents, and teachers.
So, don’t miss out on the fun! Register your school for Walk Bike Roll Day and start planning your event today. Let’s show our support for active transportation and create safer, healthier, and more sustainable communities for all.
