Safe Routes To School — Alternatives to School Busing?

By /
The Department of Education is considering cutting school bus service on Oahu thanks to skyrocketing costs, but that’s not going to slow the roll of PATH Hawaii parents and students.

PATH Hawaii is holding its Safe Routes to School Summit on Friday, Jan. 20 at Kapiolani Community College, to advocate for safe walking and bicycling routes around schools. The summit will place heavy emphasis on the health and socialization benefits of walking or biking to school.

Adults and kids on both Oahu and the Big Island on Wednesday will participate in a “Bike School Bus” and “Walking School Bus,” respectively, to rally for support of the Safe Routes to School initiative.
