The official blog of Activate Omaha's Walk 'n Roll to School initiative. Our goal is to get more kids walking and riding to school.
More Kids, More Often
Just a generation ago, the vast majority of kids that lived within a mile of their school walked or bicycled to get there. Today, that number is around 15%, and the childhood obesity rate and air quality issues tell the story. Join us as we encourage a new generation to embrace alternative forms of transportation that will improve the health and well being of everyone!

Here we go again!
It bears repeating: please shovel early and often for the school kids. Even if you think kids in your neighborhood won't be walking to school, they are likely to still be walking to the bus stops!
