Why
develop a School Travel Plan?
There are a number of reasons why schools may want to consider how
their students, staff, parents/guardians and visitors travel to and from
their establishments. These might include:
- Problems with school gate congestion
- Concerns about safety of students
- Problems with parking (either on or off-site)
- Lack of awareness about the benefits of using a range of different travel options
- Lack of facilities to encourage the use of all modes of transport
- Concerns about the health of students
- Changes in school catchment, building size or numbers on roll
- Concerns about the local environment
- Opportunities to link travel to school with carbon emissions and global warming within the curriculum
If a school has any of these concerns then it is likely that a
successfully implemented School Travel Plan can help.
