Morning physical activity boosts health and academic success!

A walking school bus program increases pedestrian safety, reduces neighborhood crime, increases school attendance, and reduces hydrocarbon emissions from traffic.

Sadly, Latinos often lack access to safe routes to schools, parks, or other destinations, thus are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and pedestrian fatalities.

You can make a difference by starting a walking school bus.

The toolkit includes proven tools, tips and resources for a fast and easy start.
