WALKING SCHOOL BUS

​​WHAT IS A WALKING SCHOOL BUS?

DOWS LANE WALKING SCHOOL BUS

The Irvington walking school bus program is made of groups of students and parents who walk to school together. A walking school bus works like a carpool, with parent volunteers “driving” the group. Parents teach the rules of the road, and parent volunteer coordinators help with the route logistics. As long as safe conditions are met, all parents do not need to be on each walk.
