October is Colorado Pedestrian Month, and its first event will be Walk to School Day on Wednesday.
Colorado Department of Transportation encourages schools throughout the state to participate in the annual event as a way of promoting and practicing pedestrian and road safety to and from school among classmates, families and caregivers.
Colorado Walk to School Day was established as part of the International Walk to School Day program in 1997. More than 150 Colorado schools usually participate each year.
Register a school at #ColoradoWalkstoSchool as a way of tracking participation and showing support for active, healthy and safe transportation. Registrations also assist Colorado’s ranking among other participating states.
