1 CLEAN COMMUTE WEEK TOOLKIT Welcome to Clean Commute Week! This toolkit includes: Activities for promoting Clean Commute Week at your school Free resources for International Walk to School Day Fun facts for morning announcements Student clean commute log Cut-out symbols for your Clean Commute Hall of Fame No Idling pledge cards Clean Commute Week challenge cards Clean Commute Week is a five-day event celebrating clean transportation: bus riding, biking, walking, carpooling and no idling. It s one of lots of programs and events designed to help Georgia schools reduce the number of cars in the school zone and improve air quality for everyone! Pick one or more modes to celebrate, or use this week to promote YOUR Clean Air Schools program! Celebrate with us in early October or March to coincide with the official Walk to School days, or use this week to promote your Clean Air Schools program any time of the year. If you re not a Clean Air School and would like to be, us at Schools@ The Clean Air Campaign. All Rights Reserved. The Clean Air Campaign is a 501(c)3 Georgia non-profit organization. 55 Park Place, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA CLEANAIR
2 Why should we commute differently? What s in it for us? Clean commuting helps everyone in your school community. Parents save time, money and stress by pooling their efforts to get kids to school. Teachers and administrators have more kids getting to school on time. Students can spend time with friends and get active in the process. And EVERYONE can benefit from cleaner air, less traffic and better safety! Clean Commute Week Leverage Your School Media 1. Engage Media Center Students Tap students involved in the media center for ideas. Make a fun project out of Clean Commute Week. Spark their creativity and school spirit. 2. Promote Clean Commute Week Leading up to Clean Commute Week, use your media center to let students know what is coming. During the week, update students on what they can expect the next day. Consider having your students create a video to educate your school. 3. Provide Relevant Facts Share the facts with students about air pollution and how they can take action to reduce it. Tell them how and why each highlighted mode of clean transportation matters. We want to know how your school is celebrating Clean Commute Week! If you ve got something special planned, tell us about it at Schools@. We might even convince the BAIR to drop in! 4. Involve Clean Commute Week Participants and Winners Make winners visible by giving them a chance to participate in announcements they can announce the next day s winners or interview their classmates about the clean commuting experience. 5. Invite School Nurse to Speak Ask the school nurse to discuss the health effects of air pollution. 2
3 Fun Activities for Clean Commute Week Create a Clean Commute Hall of Fame Measure your school s clean commuting progress by hanging clean commute symbols in the hall for everyone to see! Pass out the clean commute symbols in this toolkit (bikes, cars, buses, shoes) to students during morning drop-off. Have all students write their names on the symbols and hang them down the hallway to create a Clean Commute Hall of Fame. (Have carpool buddies write their names on the same car symbol.) At week s end, celebrate your results! Report the number of clean commuters and clean commute modes during morning announcements. Hold a Clean Commute Challenge Using the Clean Commute Log flier in this toolkit, have students track their commutes every day. You can even get classes in on the act, having them log their commutes as a group and report their results. Announce school winners at the end of the week! Photos: Clean Air Schools Evansdale Elementary and Barnwell Elemenatary found colorful, creative ways to get their students engaged for clean air! Incentive Ideas for Winners 1. School Privileges Principal s assistant for the day. First person in line for lunch. Morning news anchor. What s special at your school? 2. School Events Offer free tickets to school events (plays, athletic events) as prizes. This will get Clean Commute Challenge winners supporting the school as well! 3. School Fundraiser Items Support school programs by purchasing fundraising items to give as challenge prizes. Collaborate with your PTA you may even be able to purchase items at wholesale prices! 4. Clean Air Schools Collateral Pass out Clean Air Schools items pencils, bus erasers, carpool bracelets, stickers to participating students. (Collateral available to all Clean Air School participants.

8 Fun Facts for Morning Announcements Bus Riding Did you know riding the school bus is one of the safest ways to get to school? To stay extra-safe, always stand at least five giant steps (10 feet) away from the bus when you re on the sidewalk. Also, never walk behind the bus when you re crossing the street. Walk in front so the driver can see you. Fun Fact: School buses keep an annual estimated 17.3 million cars off roads surrounding schools each morning. That ends up savings 2.3 billion gallons of fuel, 6 billion dollars and 44.6 billion pounds of CO2 nationwide! (Source: American School Bus Council) Biking Walking Walking is a small way to make a big difference in the air we breathe. It s one of the best ways to get active, and it s free! No special tools required! And in March, we have Georgia Walk to School Day, so kids from all over the state will be joining in to get to school on their own two feet. Fun Fact: In 1969, 50% of all kids in the U.S. walked to school. Today, less than 15% do. (Source: CDC) Riding your bike is a fun AND healthy way to get to school! Get a group of friends and ride together. And don t forget your helmet! Fun Fact: 40% of all car trips are less than 2 miles long. That s just a 15-minute bike ride. In addition, biking just one day a week for a year can save as much as 1200 vehicle miles and up to $567 in driving costs. (Source: Federal Highway Administration) Carpooling Fun Fact: The average American household uses almost 3 gallons of fuel a day enough to fill 21 bathtubs a year! How many bathtubs worth do you think your family could save by carpooling to school with other families? (Source: U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, National Household Travel Survey 2001, and Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics 2001) Clean Commute Celebration Fun Fact: Each day, Georgians help to eliminate 1.4 million vehicle miles of travel by carpooling, teleworking, riding a bike, walking, riding the bus or riding public transportation to work and school. That s the same as circling the globe 56 times! These actions add up to keeping 700 tons of pollution out of the air we breathe. Way to go, Georgia! (Source: Center for Transportation and the Environment study conducted on behalf of the Georgia Department of Transportation; National Aeronautics and Space Administration: global circumference at equator = 24,901 miles) 8
