Indiana Walk and Bike to School Challenge

Schools throughout the state will kick off the inaugural Indiana Walk and Bike to School Challenge on April 23 and be part of an initiative that encourages students and their parents to walk or
bike to school as a way to increase their physical activity, reduce transportation costs and promote the environment, public health and quality of life.

The Indiana Walk and Bike to School Challenge is a 15-day challenge
sponsored by the Indiana Safe Routes to School Partnership, a collaborative
effort spearheaded by Health by Design and comprised of government,
community, health and education organizations. The partnership is working to
increase the number of children safely walking and biking to school
throughout the state by sharing information, resources, technical
assistance, and ideas. 

Schools that register their participation will compete for prizes. For more
