International Walk to School Week - October 4-8, 2004
October 4-8, 2004 is International Walk to School Week! Children, teachers, and community leaders from around the globe will walk together to promote safer, healthier communities. More information about the event can be found at the International Walk to School Week website www.iwalktoschool.org.
Because children walk to school year-round, they are at increased risk for pedestrian injuries—they need safer routes. You can help by learning more about these risks and steps you can take to promote pedestrian safety in your community.
