Listen to this excellent radio story about International Walk+Bike to School Day in Medford, Ashland, and Phoenix.
One child talks about starting small, walking to school once a week, then twice, then… seven “or something”!
The story also talks about the benefits of walking or biking to school, the changing trends in land use planning, the history of walk and bike to school day, and how walking school buses, where kids walk to school together, can address some parents’ concerns about having a kid walk to school alone.
