“Thanks to the Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) grant that funded workshops in the Elementary and Middle Schools last year, parents and students are much more aware of the benefits and fun of walking and biking to school,” said Alexandra Kent, SRTS Coordinator for Montclair Township.
“Every school is actively encouraging walking and biking, as well as working to make their school environment safer for walkers and bikers. I'm confident that we will see increasing numbers of children participating in this event as well as choosing to walk or bike more frequently throughout the year.”
