It's Your City: School children from around Carson City to celebrate Nevada Moves Day
In this week's It's Your City, Safe Routes to Schools administrator Cortney Bloomer talks with the state coordinator Tim Rowe from the Nevada Department of Transportation. The two discuss Nevada Moves Day.
Many Nevada schoolchildren will take part in organized events that promote walking or bicycling to school during Nevada Moves Week, Monday, March 14 through Friday, March 18. The program is designed for school children encouraging them to practice safe walking and bike riding.
Events will be held Wednesday, which will be celebrated as Nevada Moves Day. Walking and bicycling to school events are planned for Carson City, Washoe, Douglas, and Lyon counties with more than 100 schools across the state committing to participate in Nevada Moves activities during the week. Children are encouraged to involve their families in safely walking or bicycling to school during Nevada Moves Week and throughout the year.
