Safe Routes to School Program
Marketing Toolkit
You can have a successful campaign to encourage kids to walk and bike to school, educate parents on the importance of kids getting enough activity, and create awareness in your community. We’re building a marketing toolkit to support your Safe Routes to School program activities, starting with materials for International Walk to School Day.

Announcements
Scripts for two types of announcements are included: one for students in the classroom and one for parents during an at-school event. The scripts are Word documents and can be used or modified as needed.
For the Media
Press Release template with instructions [ WORD ]
A press release can be used to provide information about your event so that it can be included in a news story, regardless of whether a media outlet comes to the event. The press release template is a Word document that includes the VDOT SRTS logo at the top. This logo can be replaced or supplemented with a school logo. Instructions for customizing the template are provided.
Media Advisory template [ WORD]
A media advisory is different from the press release in that its purpose is to get media outlets to the event. As an invitation, the advisory includes information on the time and place of the event, as well as reasons why the press would want to cover it. The media advisory is a Word document that includes the VDOT SRTS logo at the top. This logo can be replaced or supplemented with the school logo.
