May is officially Bike Month and New Jersey Walk & Bike to School Month! Governor Mikie Sherrill has proclaimed May 2026 as a time to celebrate safer, healthier, and more active communities across the state.

From Bike to Work Week (May 11–17) to Bike to Work Day on May 15, schools and towns throughout New Jersey will host rides, walk-to-school events, bike rodeos, and safety programs all month long.

Walking and biking to school help students stay active, focused, and ready to learn, while also reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, and making our streets safer for everyone.
