In the USA, celebrate Walk to School Day on October 8, 2008, and promote safe walking and bicycling throughout the year.
Registration is free and available to all Walk to School event organizers in the United States. By registering, organizers have a chance to win prizes for students and gain access to a variety of downloadable items, including certificates, printable sticker templates, media materials and more. Registrants can also subscribe to a Walk to School e-newsletter with tips and resources for walk to school events and registered events will be displayed on an interactive map on the Walk to School Web site.
The National Center for Safe Routes to School at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center serves as the national coordinating agency for International Walk to School events in the United States.
