Hoof it and wheel it

Well, it could be considered a sub- mode of "public" transport but I think it deserves a pledge of its own, don't you?

Walking and cycling are the best way to move! Not only are they efficient, affordable modes of transport, they keep you in shape, are a great way to get to know your community, and fabulous for spending time with your mates. And combined with public transport walking and/or cycling are a sure-fire eco-winner for getting to and from the workplace, up to the office, getting the kids to kindy and school...

So, get hoofing!

Get families in your neighbourhood who have kids to join together and walk as a group to school. Starting from the farthest house, kids walk with a parent or two and "pick up" their schoolmates along the way.
The kids get to chat to each other, so they don't kick up a fuss about the walk, parents can let their kids walk to school knowing there's someone looking out for them, they get exercise, and it helps build community!
