Walk and roll into summer

Published on June 05, 2024

June is a wonderful time to prepare your route for next school year and consider new commute habits such as walking and biking.

By identifying your route early, you can encourage your family members and neighbors to join you in your walking route.

Warmer and longer days are a great opportunity to include more active transportation options in your daily life. With your kid, identify safe routes to walk and bike to friends’ houses, pools, day camps, parks and other summer destinations.

Even though school is out for the summer, many schools host camps and summer school, so continue to drive carefully in school zones and around school buses.

Biking to middle or high school: test your route with your students.
