Area schools plan first walk to school day
Students from schools across South Carolina will be walking and biking to school along with parents, teachers, and community leaders on March 7, 2012, as part of the first annual South Carolina Walk to School Day. The statewide events are a spring version of the widely popular International Walk to School Day held each October. More than 130 schools across South Carolina participated in International Walk to School Day in 2011. Event organizers from the South Carolina Safe Routes to School Resource Center are anticipating the momentum to carry over to the new spring event. Incentives and planning support are provided to events registered for South Carolina Walk to School Day. Registered schools should be officially partnered with the Resource Center. Walk to School events help to promote safer routes for walking and biking, and emphasize the importance of increasing physical activity for children. In areas where children may live too far from school to walk or bike safely, school leaders can offer a “Walk at School” event, or designate a “Park and Walk” site, where parents can park nearby and walk the remaining distance to school with their children. However the events may be structured, they can emphasize pedestrian safety, reducing traffic congestion, and building better connections between families, schools and the broader community. SC Walk to School Day helps schools initiate conversations about how walking and biking can: - Enhance health by increasing the amount of physical activity - Improve air quality by reducing automobile emissions in the school zone - Make the streets safer by relieving traffic congestion The Safe Routes to School Resource Center is a federally-funded project of the South Carolina Department of Transportation that provides education, encouragement, and planning support to K-8 schools throughout South Carolina that wish to partner with the Resource Center. Services and materials are provided at no cost to the schools and their communities.
