What is a School Travel Plan?

A School Travel Plan is a living document that sets out a number of practical ways to reduce the amount of car trips made to a school, to encourage more walking, cycling and to improve safety on the school journey.

The Travel Plan aims to raise awareness among pupils and parents of the harmful effects of increasing car use on children's health, safety and independence. It raises awareness of the implications of travel choice and the benefits of encouraging more sustainable travel to school.

For those of you who have not already done so, putting together or updating a school travel plan need not be time-consuming or complicated. KCC's experienced Transport Planners can provide your school with all the information, resources and support you need to create a plan that will benefit your school.
