Sustainable school travel strategy 

In response to new legislation (The Education and Inspection Act 2006) all Local Authorities are required to develop and promote a sustainable school travel strategy. Our aim with their strategy is to encourage healthier, greener and safer ways of travel to school by:

  • encouraging every school to develop a travel plan
  • aiming to reduce car journeys to educational establishments, improve child road safety, child health and the quality of the local environment
  • promoting the use of sustainable modes of travel for school related journeys
  • working with schools and other educational establishments to promote walking and cycling by providing free training programmes, a walking bus, and a parent parking charter programme to prevent inconsiderate parking around the school gate

Information for students and parents/carers about sustainable ways of travelling to school is available on our initiatives page.

The travel to school strategy is produced annually and is currently under review.
