Bike & Roll to School Day is an opportunity for Montana schools to join a nationwide movement that promotes healthy habits, safer streets, and stronger communities. Held each spring through Walk Bike & Roll to School, the event encourages students to bike or roll to school while raising awareness about the importance of traffic safety for everyone.
Safety is at the heart of Bike & Roll to School Day. Students should always wear helmets, follow traffic rules, and stay visible with bright or reflective clothing. For younger children, riding or walking with adults or in organized groups can make the experience safer and more enjoyable.
Drivers play an equally important role. Slowing down in school zones, watching for children at crossings, and staying distraction-free can prevent serious crashes. In Montana, bicyclists have the same rights as drivers, which makes awareness and mutual respect essential on our shared roads.
Signing up is simple, and participation can be as big or small as your community wants. By joining Bike & Roll to School Day, Montana schools can help create safer streets and healthier futures one ride at a time! This year, Bike & Roll to School Day takes place on May 6. To include your school in this annual safety day, sign up at Walk, Bike, & Roll To School.
