MARYLAND — Students across Maryland will take part in Walk to School Day on Wednesday, October 8, with more than 40 events registered statewide. The annual event encourages children to make walking to school a safe and healthy part of their routine while fostering community engagement.
The Maryland Department of Transportation urges students and families to prioritize safety by walking with a friend or parent when possible, wearing bright-colored clothing to be seen, watching for vehicles at intersections, and crossing streets carefully.
Families and schools can still register their Walk to School events at walkbiketoschool.org/registration. Walk to School Day is part of a nationwide effort to promote physical activity, teach safe walking habits, and strengthen connections within communities.
