Celebrating I Walk Month – October

October is International Walk to School Month. During this month we celebrate active modes of transportation: walking or wheeling on the sidewalk to school.

When walking to school:

  • Use the sidewalks
  • Look all ways before crossing the street: STOP, LOOK, LISTEN before crossing.
  • Make eye contact with drivers before you cross the street.
  • Cross at intersections and crosswalks
  • Obey traffic signals and sign
