Walk Safely to School Day is an annual, national event when all Primary School children in Australia are encouraged to walk safely to school. It’s a community event which promotes road safety, health, public transport and care for the environment.
Now in its twelfth year, Walk Safely to School Day will be held around Australia tomorrow. This morning I spoke about the project with Harold Scruby, Chairman of the Pedestrian Council of Australia on 98.5 Sonshine FM.
It seems that everyone used to either ride or walk to school but these days there are lines of cars outside every school each morning. Did you walk to school? Do you have children who walk to school or do you drive them each day? Do you enjoy walking?
