Walk, Ride, and Roll to School Classes

Encourage your students to take active transportation to school with a free class!

The iCommute Walk, Ride, and Roll to School program offers free classes and events for public or private K-12 schools in the San Diego region. These classes are designed to teach students skills and safety to build confidence and encourage active transportation choices. Our goal is to increase the number of children who walk, bike, skate, or scooter to school; raise awareness of the benefits of more active forms of transportation; and promote pedestrian and bike safety.

The SANDAG iCommute program's bike education services have gone virtual! Register your school for an online class:
