Beginning in January 2013, volunteers will guide children who live within a one mile radius to  schools through a walking school bus program in Marana County, AZ.

According to a news article from the Arizona Daily Star, three schools belonging to the Marana Unified School District in Marana, Arizona, will participate in this program thanks to a $4.5 million grant provided to 27 Safe Routes to School projects by the Arizona Transportation Board.

A walking school bus program promotes physical activity in children before and after school, helps reduce traffic congestion,  The first school in the Marana Unified School District to start a walking school bus program was Estes elementary school. In December of 2012, 75 students from this school walked to school.
