Go to school on foot, by bike or by bus in Italy
Children are encouraged to go to school four days a month on foot, by bike or by bus within the framework of a competition. First, the municipality carried out a study in collaboration with the parents and teachers at different schools to test the routes and identify needs for improvement to streets and pavements. The project showed that children preferred to walk, bike or take the bus to school.
