Walk + Roll Events

We hold Walk + Roll events throughout the year to encourage walking and rolling to school. Rolling means using any device that has wheels but doesn’t have a motor—such as a bicycle, a scooter, a skateboard, rollerblades, roller skates, or a wheelchair—for transportation.

Our Walk + Roll events include:

  • Walking Buses

    • Walking School Buses: A walking bus is a group of students, family members, school staff, and community leaders that walk together along a route to school.

    • This alleviates car congestion in school zones. Students can practice pedestrian safety tools and skills.

  • International Walk + Roll to School Day

    • The first Wednesday in October

  • Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day

    • November 14th

    • A day of dialogue to continue the fight against racism and bullying. Creating a space for educational inclusivity.

    • A day to commemorate Ruby Bridges and her impact on U.S. Civil Rights History.

    • Our program played a pivotal role in the initiative that enabled Oregon Senator Deb Patterson to sponsor Senate Bill 450, which formally recognizes Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on November 14th across the state of Oregon.

  • Winter Walk + Roll to School Day
