HandsUp! counts

Why HandsUp?

Students riding to school

HandsUp! counts help schools measure their progress and support more students to become physically active. The Ride2School HandsUp! system is a key reporting tool used by schools in our program.

Schools can measure the number of students riding and walking to school
The information collected can be used to advocate for improved walking and riding in the local community
