The morning and afternoon walk (or wheel) to and from school is an opportunity for kids to connect with their neighbourhood and friends, improve their mental health through exercise, help the environment, and experience independence on a daily basis. Every child has the right to safe mobility options in their communities, which promote healthy, active lifestyles starting at an early age.

The DSR is an active transportation system for kids, with kids. Their approach is grounded in the fact that kids possess a unique and valuable understanding of their community and how they like to travel in it. The process brings together community members to understand how students are traveling to school and the challenges they face. Then, they work closely with the community to develop solutions to overcome these challenges. Their aspiration is to get 100% of students to walk/wheel to and from school every day.
