KidsWalk is creating Safer Routes to School by

• Organizing walking routes to help children, supervised by parents, have safe, fun trips to schools;
• Enabling parents, school administrators, and others to initiate safety improvements by reporting pedestrian hazards online;
• Conducting "walkability audits" that inform transportation engineers and elected officials about needed improvements;
• Providing guidance and promotional materials for schools organizing International Walk to School Day events;
• Facilitating increased enforcement of speed limits and crosswalk laws among participating schools;
• Enlisting parents and other trusted adults to walk with kids as they journey to school;
• Providing fun incentives, such as water bottles and pedometers for kids who walk to participating schools.
