Safe Routes to School
Mason-Rice is part of a citywide effort to significantly reduce traffic
around our schools. 85% of children live within a mile of
school. Do you know how far you live from school?
Check out this cool city link that tells you exactly how far: http://www.ci.newton.ma.us/WPInternet/index.asp
How you can help:
1.
Walk as often as you can. Walking often takes less time than getting
the kids in the car, buckling up and driving to school, especially if
you need to come through one of the busy intersections near school.
2. Walk together with friends, taking turns walking
3 Help launch a walking bus from your neighborhood
4. Find a route for older children that they can walk with buddies.
5. If walking isn't going to work, then consider the benefits to
everyone of a carpool which is at least saving 50% on gas and removing
one car from the school path
6. Use the blue zone and you help to reduce the parking and traffic issues next to the school.
7. Your child can be a bus hero. If you live over a mile or past a
major road without a crossing guard, your child qualifies for the bus
for free.
8. Pledge to at least walk on the Go Green, Wear Green Days (the last Friday of the month)! Make it a family event by rethinking everyone's commute that day.
Everyone making even small steps has the potential for big gain. Check out the walking_pledge.for more information. Want to know more ways you can keep your kids safe and respect our school comunity and neighbors? Click here: Traffic_and_Safety_Checklist
