“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, #Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife.bsky.social in #CurbingTraffic

Growing up in Chicago, I walked to both elementary and high school.

I imagine most of the remaining Dutch kids from these stats walk to school. Very few would be driven: my daughter’s elementary school here in Amsterdam literally has no place to even park a car.
