An extensive literature examines the usefulness of “Safe Routes to Schools programs” to encourage active travel (walking and cycling) to school, thereby increasing physical activity with all its benefits for mental and physical health, mainly in the Global North. This article reports on an adaptation for vulnerable schools in several Chilean cities (2016-2019). This change of context transformed the program, which focused on gender, civic education, and rights as central to to a just, sustainable transport system. “Sustainable transport” is an ecology of modes that improves connections among walking, cycling and public transport. “Transport justice” becomes central in an unequal country such as Chile, focus on gender, civic education and rights. During the first experience in co-design, with students, they changed the name, rejecting “safe” and insisting on “bakan”, a Chilean term for “cool”. The results included changes in attitudes, skills and visions. The resulting program, Kool Routes, improves physical activity, but above all influences the social determinants of health. It has proven to be a relatively simple way of dealing with the complexity of the challenges inherent in achieving sustainable development goals for cities in the 21st century
