The Walking School Bus is a great way for kids to all get to school together, on foot! It’s the concept of a school bus, but without the bus. Giving kids the chance to know their community and neighborhoods while on their way to school, supervised by adults of course.
You have a legal right to be on the road and we’ll give you the tools to make it easy. Our workshops teach traffic psychology and techniques that will empower you while you ride. August’s workshop is held in the afternoon, giving you more time to sleep in before you join us as we share our bike joy and knowledge with you!
