School travel plans

These are used to improve children's safety on the journey to and from school and are developed by the Traffic and Transportation Section in partnership with both primary and secondary schools.

The plans aim to increase the number of children walking, cycling and using public transport to travel. The practical steps they have to improve road safety include walk to school campaigns, Walk on Wednesday (WoW), park and stride, walking buses.  Some schools have cycle storage to encourage cycling.
