We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Not only is there new carpet and laminate floors throughout, but the whole house has been freshly repainted, and the refitted bathroom has a new shower over the bath and stylish, contemporary fittings.
The kitchen is modern, with slimline dishwasher, generous pantry and a built in alcove for a sizeable side-by-side fridge/freezer.
Two generous double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the third bedroom - a single - would also be perfect as a home office.
Cosiness is guaranteed with a heat pump, wall and ceiling insulation and damp-proofing under the floors. Outside, the house has been completely re-clad and painted. With its family-sized section, separate single garage and ample off-street parking, it's a perfect choice for first-home buyers or investors.
But, that's not all - this is a very convenient location near Eastgate Mall, within a 2 minute drive of Pak'n'Save Wainoni, across the road from local shops, a bar & cafe and a Mobil service station on the corner. Parents of school-aged children will appreciate a number of pre-schools within a short drive, as well as Aranui Primary, Chisnallwood Intermediate and Aranui High Schools all close-by.
