Michigan students get active on National Bike and Roll to School Day.
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michimich -- Michigan students will join children from around the country to celebrate National Bike & Roll to School Day (BR2SD) on Wednesday, May 7. Initiated by the Partnership for a Walkable America in over a decade ago, BR2SD was born out of the success from Walk and Roll to School Day.
The event is being promoted by Safe Routes to School (SRTS) at Michigan Fitness Foundation (MFF), a federally legislated program administered by Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
SRTS programs are designed to make it safe, convenient, and fun for children and their families to walk, roll, and bike to school, as well as ease traffic jams, reduce air pollution, and unite neighborhoods.
"Bike and Roll to School Day encourages healthy living," said MFF President and CEO Amy Ghannam. "When students, teachers, and families participate in a Bike & Roll to School event, they can see how easy it is to integrate more physical activity into their daily routines."
The event emphasizes the sense of joy and adventure students experience by being active on the school commute. It also raises awareness about important issues like increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, reducing traffic congestion, and concern for the environment.

"Bike and Roll to School Day encourages children and teens to be active on their school commute," said MDOT Office of Economic Development Administrator Mike Kapp. "The event also demonstrates and reminds parents, teachers, and the larger community about the benefits and joy active commuting brings, making it an appealing transportation choice for everyone."
BR2SD events can be as straightforward or as grand as schools want to plan — from simply inviting students to bike and roll to school to hosting a bike parade or organizing a bike train.
"After a harsh winter, and a wet and windy second winter, it's time to get out the bike again," said SRTS Director Max Fulkerson. "Give them a safety check, make sure your helmets fit, and ride with your student to school on Bike and Roll to School Day. Skip the car line and have fun instead!"
There is still time for schools to register for the event, and all registered schools receive planning assistance from program staff. To register or to see if your school has registered, visit https://saferoutesmichigan.org/bike-to-school-day.
