We are taking the full month of October to celebrate walking events to elementary schools across the City! The goal is to increase walking and biking to school with a purpose — to promote health, safety, physical activity, build community, aid in the reduction of traffic congestion during the drop off and pick up at a school and concern for the environment.

The City of Mesa's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program is available to assist and support your school in planning your Walk to School Day. There are several ways to promote the efforts; You choose how big or small you want to make the event! Some ways in which we can support you are helping plan your route, providing personalize digital flyers to promote your event and coordinating support of the Mesa Police Department for your event to ensure traffic control is focused on student safety.
