Bicycle & Pedestrian Planning

Every October, millions of children, parents, and community leaders around the world celebrate the International Walk to School Month. The goal is to promote safer and improved streets, healthier habits by encouraging physical activity, and environment conservation by reducing traffic congestion and pollution.

For the first time, MORPC is looking to promote and coordinate such efforts around the region. Participating agencies shall include schools, health departments, service departments, police agencies, and parent associations, among others. The goal is to bring communities together, to build partnerships among different agencies, and to work towards a safer and more livable region.

MORPC has created two activity books to help teachers and volunteers coordinate and promote Walk To School Month in any school district:

Teachers Guide Activity Booklet

Coordinator/Organizer Activity Booklet
