Transportation

The transportation choices we make can have a great effect on the environment and our health. Vehicles such as cars, SUVs, trucks and buses release harmful gases into the environment, which can cause both air pollution and health problems.

  • Students and staff participate in the Bike/Walk to School event two times a year. In the fall of 2015, students who rode the bus were also recognized and celebrated as having taken sustainability transportation. Each student who rode the bus received a bus token.

  • In the fall of 2015, families were encouraged to complete a neighborhood "Walkability Checklist" provided by the National Center for Safe Routes to School. This checklist was used to focus on the safety of neighborhood streets and paths that get students to friends houses, school, etc.
  • In the fall of 2016, UWSP Geodesign students used GPS units to map Safe Routes to School for McDill walkers and bikers.
