The first National Bike & Roll to School Day took place on May 9, 2012, in coordination with the League of American Bicyclists’ National Bike Month. The event was inspired by the success of Walk & Roll to School Day and growing interest in biking to school.
Every year, the MCDOT Safe Routes to School team selects one elementary school in the County to host an MCDOT-sponsored event to raise awareness of pedestrian safety. MCDOT encourages all elementary schools in Montgomery County, with the support of students, parents and the community, to participate and help kids choose a safe route to bike and roll to their home school. Schools can register, view planning guides and resources on the National Bike and Roll to School website .
