“Walk and Bike to School Day is a great opportunity for families and neighbors to spend time together and get to know the safe routes to their neighborhood school,” said Mayor Laurene Weste.

In the U.S., International Walk and Bike to School Day is expected to include 5,000 schools from all 50 states. Santa Clarita students will join children and adults from more than 40 countries around the world.

Walk and Bike to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment, and building connections between families, schools, and the broader community.
