Cycling and walking to school
The mode of travel chosen for a
child's journey to school is recognised as having an impact not
only on their safety but their health and personal development and
of course the environment in which they live.
The Government has empowered Local
Authorities to assist schools in developing School Travel Plans and
Safer Routes to School programmes. Together we can make a
difference to the journey children make to get to and from school
by making it safer, healthier, sustainable and more
interesting.
