The Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program promotes healthy alternatives for children and parents in their travel to and from school and educates students, parents and community members on the value of walking and bicycling. About 6,000 students from all eight of the City's elementary schools, two community schools, all five of the middle schools, and the two high schools participated in the Massachusetts Walk and Bike To School Day on May 4, 2016, by walking either to or around their respective schools. "This event is designed to encourage more students to find a way to build walking into their daily routine, whether it's by walking to school or by getting regular exercise during some other time of the day," stated School Wellness Coordinator Marcia Picard who helped to organize the events along with school officials.
