2017 S.C. Walk & Bike to School Day Campaign

The 2017 S.C. Walk & Bike to School Day campaign will take place on Wednesday, March 8. Sponsored by the S.C. Department of Transportation, the S.C. Safe Routes to School program launched the first S.C. Walk to School Day event in the spring of 2012, with nearly 150 schools participating. S.C. Walk to School Day continues to grow in popularity each and every year. Even though the event falls on March 8, schools can host events anytime throughout the entire month of March! 

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. No matter the event type, the goal is to emphasize how walking and biking are both healthy and fun activities.
