With greater flexibility, your school can choose to participate at any time throughout the school year. How much or how little your school participates is entirely up to you.
Local Motion's Everyday Bicycling Program is a suite of workshops that are inclusive and accessible to be as inviting as possible for anyone who is interested in bicycling more. Local Motion’s workshop leaders are all experienced transportation bicycle riders who work hard to create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that recognizes that everyone will engage in bicycling at their own levels.
We offer workshops for people of all ages (including school groups). There is no limit on the number or content of workshops Local Motion can bring to your school.
You can also get credit for hosting another organization’s bicycling presentation.

What is PARK(ing) Day? It's a day when people put a temporary mini-park in a parking spot instead of a car! It's a fun way to demonstrate how much of our land is taken up by cars!
PARK(ing) Day (Vermont) is scheduled for 5/16, but you can run the event on any day that works for your school.
How it works:
1) Talk to your principal/school administration and get permission for the event and work with them on the logistics, safety and location at least a few weeks in advance. (Preference is for high-visibility locations that are also safe)
2) Once you have chosen your location (at least one, and hopefully many! parking spots), have people sign up for their own "mini-park" and let them come up with their own fun themes for their park.
3) On the day you've chosen for your PARK(ing) Day, have people start setting up their mini-parks in their designated PARK(ing) spot. Ideally, the mini-parks will be set up all day, but even just a half-hour of mini-park enjoyment is a great way to show how our land could be used in many different ways for our community.
4) Make it fun! Have a party! This is meant to be a light-hearted playful event!

While this manual is for the use of a metered parking spot, you can use a lot of the same tips for decorating your parking lot spot!
