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 —such as a bicycle, a scooter, a skateboard, rollerblades, roller skates, or a wheelchair—for transportation. In some cases, using public transportation is also a form of rolling.

What is a Walk + Roll School Buses?

A Walk+Roll school bus is a group of students, family members, school staff, and community leaders that walk together along a route to and from school.
