Walk to School

Many students live within walking distance to school. Take the time to stop to smell the roses and make walking to school a part of your day.

Suggested Walk Maps for Your School
Suggested Walk Maps for all schools in Santa Barbara have been developed by the City of Santa Barbara in order to help parents and students find walk routes to school. Find the suggested walking maps for your school. (coming soon).

Walking School Bus (All Ages)
Use Traffic Solutions' School Pool to meet neighbors to form a Walking School Bus. Download the Walking School Bus Guide to learn how to set one up in your neighborhood. Parents act as “bus drivers” picking up children at designated spots along the route to school. Kids get some exercise, arrive to school safely and get to know their neighbors!

Walking Safety Assembly (Kindergarden – 3rd Grade):
Focuses on how to be a safe walker and what hazards kids need to be aware of as well as helmet safety. The assembly is ideally followed with a Neighborhood Walk-Around. Contact your SR2S Coordinator

Neighborhood Walk-Around (2nd Grade):
Guided by the regional SR2S coordinator, a police officer and their classroom teacher children walk around the school neighborhood and look for hazards and practice safe habits of crossing the road. Contact your SR2S Coordinator
