The Solano Safe Routes to School program is encouraging parents and children to “think outside the car” and join with thousands of students in walking to school on International Walk to School Day on Wednesday.
The international event began in England in 1994 as a way to urge students to get out of cars and on their feet, according to a Solano Transportation Authority press release.
Now, it’s observed in 40 nations with millions of participants who support walkable communities.
