Create a Walking School Bus (h1)
Now that many Montgomery County Public School students are returning to in-person instruction, it is time to create a Walking School Bus in your neighborhood. We are encouraging students to stay healthy, active, and safe by walking to school. The Walking School Bus is a great program to teach children about traffic safety and the rules of the road. The resources below will help you start a safe and efficient Walking School Bus. Let’s get started!
What is a Walking School Bus? (h2)
- A walking school bus (WSB) is a safe and fun way for children to get physical activity as they travel (walk) to and from school with adult supervision.
- Each “bus” walks along a set route with one or more adults leading it, picking children up at designated stops along a predetermined route and walking them to school.
Who can use a Walking School Bus? (h3)
- Students and families who are within walking distance to school and walk the same or similar route to get to school.
Where does a Walking School Bus go? (h4)
- To school in the mornings and back home in the afternoons.

- Increasing daily physical activity
