School travel plan

Green travel plans at school

School travel plans are all about working together as a community to make the school journey safer and healthier for everyone.

Each school is different, with its own local problems and possible solutions, so our toolkit enables a tailor made approach for each school.

Every school travel plan should contain:

a brief description of the location, size and type of school
a brief description of the travel / transport problems faced by the school / cluster of schools, and should include all pupils' travel needs:
- journeys to and from school at normal start / finish times
- journeys to attend pre and after-school journeys made during the school day to attend activities at other locations
the results of a survey to identify:
- how children currently travel to or from school
- how they would like to travel to or from school
clearly defined targets and objectives
details of proposed measures
a detailed timetable for implementation
clearly defined responsibilities
evidence that all interested parties have been consulted
proposals for monitoring and review
