A walking bus involves a group of children walking between home and school under the guidance of at least two trained adult volunteers. It can also work for a park-and-stride scheme to enable children to walk at least part of the way to school from an agreed parking area.
Help and support is available from the Council. Once you have identified a potential route and have some parent volunteers available, you can contact the Road Safety Unit to undertake a risk-assessment of the route and to train the volunteers. We can provide fluorescent, reflective tabards for adults and children.
Please see below for guidance on setting up your bus and for sample forms, letters and posters.
