From email:

This October, communities around the US will join nearly 40 countries to celebrate walking and bicycling to school.

Registration is now open at Walk to School. By registering, Walk to School organizers have a chance to win prizes for students and gain access to a variety of downloadable items, including certificates, printable sticker templates, media materials and more. Registrants can also subscribe to a Walk to School e-newsletter with tips and resources for walk to school events. Registered events will be displayed on an interactive map on the site, so that neighboring communities, media and other organizations will be able to view participating events.

The National Center for Safe Routes to School at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center serves as the national coordinating agency for International Walk to School events in the US. Click for more information on Safe Routes to School.
