Active School Travel

A reminder that our Active School Travel Day is Friday.

Children who walk or bike to school at a young age are more likely to continue the habit as they age, a new study shows. Researchers found that more than three-quarters of children who engaged in active commuting at a young age continued to do so two to four years later.

The walk to school is a wonderful moment in the day providing children a glimpse of living an active lifestyle. When people start walking early in life, it can have a lasting impact on their health.

Researchers found if children are taught early to actively commute—travelling by physical means—they are far more likely to keep doing so later in their educational career. Most children don’t achieve the recommended 60 minutes per day of physical activity. Active commuting to school is one way to get more activity in their day.

How will you actively travel to school on Friday?
