Case Study: Lytchett Matravers "Passport to Health" [pdf]

Read about the regular walking incentive scheme at one primary school in Dorset, England, launched in IWALK Week in October 2004 that involves more than 400 pupils and has seen car trips all the way to the school reduce by 18 percent and walking and cycling increase by 16 percent.


International Walk to School Month is October 2008
In 2007, a record 42 countries participated in International Walk to School Month, the entire month of October dedicated to walking to school.
 

International Walk to School Month gives children, parents, school teachers and community leaders an opportunity to be part of a global event as they celebrate the many benefits of walking. In 2007, millions of walkers from around the world walked to school together for various reasons – all hoping to create communities that are safe places to walk. See the 2007 press release to learn more (in Microsoft Word and RTF formats).
