Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools

What a successful International Walk and Roll to School Day!

We are excited to share that on October 8, thousands of students and families across Alameda County came out for a global celebration of walking, biking, and rolling to school. With over 150 schools participating this year, our effort to encourage alternative travel options to get to and from schools continues to expand.

We give a huge thanks to those who helped make this year’s event a success throughout Alameda County. We can’t wait until next year!

Check back soon for updates on our International Walk and Roll to School Day page.
