Item Title:Proclamation: Walk and Roll to School Day
Item Type:Consent
Background:

Walk and Roll to School Day is a longstanding tradition in Alameda, marking its 11th anniversary this year. The event’s primary purpose is to promote safe routes to school, as well as health and physical fitness among today’s youth.  The event is part of a larger-scale international “Walk to School Month” event, held in 42 countries worldwide. 

 

Pedestrian Friendly Alameda, BikeAlameda, PTA Council, and Alameda Public Works Department partner together to encourage the Board of Education to join in promoting the benefits of walking or bicycling rather than driving to school. These organizations are committed to creating cleaner, safer, and environmentally healthier Alameda neighborhoods and schools for children as well as supporting the opportunity for quality family time when parents, guardians, grandparents, and children can walk or bike to school together.
