2015 South Carolina Walk to School Day

The 2015 South Carolina Walk to School Day will take place on Wednesday, March 4. Sponsored by the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the South Carolina Safe Routes to School program launched the first South Carolina Walk to School Day event in the spring of 2012, with nearly 150 schools participating. Walk to School Day is a great way for parents, students, school personnel and other community members to directly understand the fun and healthy benefits of walking by experiencing the trip to school on foot as they walk and bike with students. The program also emphasizes the importance of practicing safety when traveling on foot with the use of helpful tips and precautions. Local schools are invited to plan a walking event. School organizers can plan a walk day to school, a walk day from school, or a walk day at school from one location to another. Interested schools are asked to contact their respective outreach coordinators.
