What is a school travel plan?
We can work with schools to tackle congestion on the school run. Developing a school travel plan (STP) will help identify the issues that prevent the take up of sustainable modes (cycling and walking).
A travel plan lists actions that a school agrees and commits to run as part of the whole school. This is an opportunity to bring the school community together on common issues.
Schools in Slough can now school join thousands of schools across the UK to promote sustainable travel and road safety through Modeshift STARS. The National Modeshift Stars scheme will reward schools that encourage children, staff and parents to walk and cycle to school. Modeshift aims to share best practice in sustainable travel delivery.
Advantages to a school travel plan:
- less congestion and pollution around the school site
- improved safety outside the school gate
- healthier, more active pupils.
