Walk or Wheel To Schools Wellesley

Create Healthy Habits While Helping Wellesley Reduce Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The new school year is a chance to begin new routines. Recent climate studies show that 30% of Wellesley's traffic is school-related transportation. Instead of driving, start some new school traditions this fall.

 - Get together with friends and walk to school
 - Form neighborhood walking groups with other parents, caretakers, families – take turns leading the group.
 - Ride bikes or scooters with neighbors. 
 -Check in with the Wellesley Public Schools to see if there is space on the bus: it is free if you live more than 2 miles from school.

More information on Wellesley's upcoming “Safe Routes to School” walking and biking initiative is coming out soon. Learn more about it from the Town's Mobility Committee members (see below). Better yet, consider participating in it by serving as a parent representative for your school.
