Elenda Earth Day Celebration 2026

For the second year, CCUSD students at Farragut Elementary, CCMS, CCHS and Culver Park High will experience a car free route to school. Students will be able to walk, bike, skate, scoot or use transit without cars.

Students who travel to school using transit with GoPass will still be able to ride. All CCUSD students ride transit for free every day through the GoPass program. This year, Culver CityBus is also offering free fares to everyone, through a free fare day in honor of Earth Day.

Culver City High School, Culver City Middle School and Farragut will be hosting Earth Day celebrations to promote climate-conscious decisions. Culver CityBus, Culver City PD and Culver City’s Sustainability Team will be distributing educational information in front of the high school as part of the celebration.

The open streets event is part of the Citywide Culver City Safe Routes to School program that encourages families to rethink their commutes to school in an effort to reduce traffic and create safer, cleaner school communities. The event is supported by Culver City Police Department and Culver CityBus.

The two hour, open streets event will allow for kids to have one day with a car free route to school along CCUSD’s busiest school commute corridor. The event will also broaden conversations on safety, transportation and environmental issues. Parents are encouraged to park and walk with their students 3 blocks from their campus, or drop their students along Huron, Coombs, the parking lot at Culver/Elenda or at the pedestrian bridge, North of Ballona Creek.

The street will be closed to car traffic starting at 6 AM and reopened at 9:30 AM. Parents that need to drive are encouraged to use side streets as alternatives, drop their kids off a few blocks from the school or use transit and avoid driving in this area altogether. Residents who will need to use their cars that morning are encouraged to park outside the event zone the night before.
