Redmond SchoolPool
Redmond students get to school by walking, biking and sharing the ride!
About the Redmond SchoolPool Program
The Redmond SchoolPool program encourages students and their families to "Walk and Roll" when traveling to their neighborhood school in October and May!
By leaving the car behind, we're reducing neighborhood traffic congestion and local air pollution, and providing our students with a safe, healthy way to get to school. Whether you walk, roll, or share the ride, you can help make a difference today.
The Redmond SchoolPool program works with Lake Washington School District schools located in Redmond to provide marketing materials, education on alternative commuting safety topics, and ideas for events like Walk to School Days, to encourage a reduction in drive alone trips to school. Through participation in SchoolPool, schools can also raise money for their school or PTSA, and earn free incentives for their students.
