In Romania, two cities have implemented a program called "Pedibus" to ease traffic near schools by encouraging children to walk with adult volunteers. Parents often prefer driving their kids due to time constraints and safety concerns, leading to congestion and pollution. However, those who walk report significant benefits, including improved focus and physical health for their children. Studies support these claims, indicating that walking to school enhances children's concentration and overall well-being. The program rewards children for walking regularly, promoting a healthier lifestyle. It is advised that children under 10 should not walk to school alone.
