Issues ranging from childhood obesity to rising fuel prices to parents' hectic work schedules are making some families rethink how their children get to school every day.

Belleville students will travel 'safe routes' next Wednesday to mark International Walk to School Day.
As a result, Belleville elementary schools are taking part in International Walk to School Day, on Wednesday Oct. 6. This marks the third year that the district's elementary schools have been involved.
Each participating school district throughout the United States, Canada and England enacts the day differently, with tailored school assignments, assemblies or activities.
In Belleville, children will walk to school using designated "safe routes."
