The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit is getting a funding boost to promote active transportation at schools across the region.
The health unit has been awarded $60,000 through the Ontario Active School Travel grant program.
The money will be used for a number of initiatives with a goal of increasing the number of students walking and wheeling to and from school.
According to a release, six schools have been picked for the pilot project with a plan to expand across the city and county in the future.
The grant money will help with walkability checks, transportation toolkits and infrastructure supports for bikes and scooters.
