Walk to School Day

Begin planning to now to celebrate Walk to School Day on October 7, 2009 with students from around the world!  The Health by Design Walk & Bike to School Workgroup has prepared a letter and information sheet to help you spread the word, organize an event, and to work toward making every day good for walking and biking to school!

 

Walkability Survey - How Walkable is Your Neighborhood? 

In the Spring of 2008, a class of IUPUI SPEA Capstone students developed a toolkit for assessing neighborhood walkability.  The project underwent review and some revision in the Evaluation Committee and was piloted among Health by Design members in the Spring of 2009.  We invite you to use this tool to evaluate your own neighborhood and to help promote walkability!  Don't hesitate to get in touch with questions or for more information.
