Thinking about walking, scooting, taking the bus or biking to school? We're here to support safe and sustainable travel to school, and help create healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Travel in a group
Get together with friends or neighbours to share the load. Ridesharing, walking, cycling, or scooting to school in a group makes it easier, safer and more fun for everybody. Here’s how children could travel to school:
Buddy programme
If your child is not happy to travel alone, organise for them to walk, scoot or cycle with other children. Ask your school if they could help set up a buddy programme.
Park and walk
Driving your child to and from school may add to congestion and chaos at the school gates. Park a little further away and walk or scoot the remaining distance. Ask your school about a walk-to-school map with safe-to-meet spots on it.
Contact your school to find out if they would be interested in developing a walk to school map.
Ridesharing
If you pitch in for one day a week you could have mornings off chauffeur duties and reduce chaos at the school gate.
