How to turn Walk to School Day success into permanent, long-term change
The Missouri Safe Routes to School Network meets monthly via teleconference the fourth Tuesday of each month at 9:30am.
With International Walk to School Month wrapping up, and a record number of Walk to School events in Missouri this year, our topic this month is a very relevant one: How to transition from a single Walk to School Day event to making systematic change in getting more kids to bicycle and walk to school more often on a regular basis.
That means both encouragement and programs for kids to change their habits and routines to walk more often where possible, but also using Walk to School events to instigate change in the environment around the school to make it safer and easier for students to bicycle and walk to school.
We hope many of you who participated in or organized a Walk to School event this year will share your Walk to School Month successes this year.
Our featured speaker will be Robert Johnson of Columbia's PedNet Coalition, who will tell how PedNet was able to make that transition and their program for showing other communities around the country to do the same.
For Robert's talk, you will need to download and follow along with this PDF file.
Whether or not you have been a part of the Missouri Safe Routes to School Network before, you are welcome to join us for the teleconference. It's free and call-in number is toll-free:
