Do Survey

Record the answers and hit “submit”.
Check Score
After your survey, the program generates your BikeWalkRoll score! Compare your score to other classrooms or nearby schools.
Do it again the next day!
About
Bike Walk Roll Week is being led by Green Communities Canada with funding from Infrastructure Canada’s National Active Transportation Fund. The event is being coordinated in British Columbia and Ontario with the objective of establishing a travel mode baseline for elementary and middle school students. This is accomplished by a combination of hands-up surveys in classrooms and a supplementary household travel survey for families.
