The community of Montpelier, VT, is promoting a different "Way To Go."

Sherwood Forest Elementary School in Winston-Salem, NC, is making strides in its efforts to encourage safe walking to school thanks to strong parent involvement, collaboration with the City of Winston-Salem and donations from local businesses.

This is a Spanish-language version of a Walkability Checklist, designed for parents and children to assess their route to school.

In 2006, a Rosewood Elementary teacher, who is also a parent, noticed on her morning walks to school with her daughter that cars were driving too fast in front of the school. Almost weekly the teacher witnessed cars running the red light at one of the school's main intersections.
