Join the celebration on #WalkRollToSchoolDay 2022!
October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, and throughout the month, communities across the U.S. will be celebrating and holding events to support safe walking and rolling to school. October 5th is International Walk to School Day, and many schools and organizations like Walk San Francisco will be holding activities to encourage safer routes to school that day and all week long. The 26th annual National Walk & Roll to School Day will be on October 12th this year, and there's still time to get inspired and involved in a #WalkRollToSchoolDay event. Register now, and see what events are happening in a school or community near you.
