Home to School Sustainable Travel and Transport Strategy

A strategy to develop the sustainable travel and transport infrastructure within the authority, so that the needs of children and young people are better catered for; and the promotion of sustainable travel and transport to, from and between schools and other institutions.

The Vision

A culture where school communities work in partnership with the Local Authority and other organisations to produce and maintain a school travel policy and sustainable travel strategy. It aims to improve child safety on the school journey, reduce local traffic congestion and pollution, increase opportunities to build physical exercise into everyday life, where children and young people develop skills, hearts and minds to become adults, who travel safely, healthily, independently, and in ways that protect the environment.
