A School Travel Plan (STP) is a written document setting out a package of measures designed to reduce car use and promote sustainable transport for journeys to and from the school site. It aims to improve safety on the school journey, cut congestion at the school gate, improve health and fitness through increased exercise, improve the environment and build links with the local community.
Your School Travel Plan Adviser is here to support you throughout the process of developing and implementing your travel plan. We offer help in the following areas:
- Advice on getting started – who should be involved, who should be consulted
- Surveys – forms to use, help with inputting and analysis
- Mapping – postcode plots of the catchment, maps to identify walking and cycling routes
- Provision of a School Travel Plan template
- Help with inserted data analysis and mapping into the template
- Advice on the content of your travel plan, including guidance on targets and initiatives
- Processing the grant application for funding.
- Advice on involving the pupils in the development and implementation of the plan.
We find that an ongoing dialogue between school and STPA is the most successful way of bringing about an approved plan.
We can offer a similar level of support for updating your travel plan. Please get in touch with your STPA for a copy of our update template.
