Students in more than 60 schools across Alameda County are walking, biking, and carpooling this month, competing in the "Pollution Solution Golden Sneaker Contest" as part of the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools Program. The two-week contest started March 4, and encourages families to get active while reducing pollution.
"This contest motivates families to start walking or biking to school in a fun, community building way," said Alameda CTC Chair Supervisor Scott Haggerty. "It supports our efforts to reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, while promoting safe access to schools."
