October marks International Walk to School Month — a global celebration of the joys of walking and wheeling to school. As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn golden, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the crisp autumn air on your journey to school.
Walking, wheeling, and scooting aren’t just fun — they’re great for your health, wellbeing, and the planet. Every step helps reduce congestion, cut pollution, and make our streets safer for everyone.
Pupils around the world will be joining in this month. Will you?
Notice the seasonal changes along your route — the crunch of leaves, the cooler mornings, the autumn skies.
Share your experiences with us! Living Streets would love to hear what you see, feel and discover on your way to school.
Post your stories and snapshots on social media, tag @livingstreets, and don’t forget to use #WalkToSchool.
Let’s make every journey an adventure — one step at a time.
