Road Safety & School Travel Planning

Top

Travelwise is committed to increasing walking, cycling, car sharing and public transport for school or college journeys at the expense of the school car run. This will help:

  • improve individual and community health
  • the local environment by reducing air, noise and visual pollution
  • tackle congestion - especially in the morning peak

Improving safety on journeys from home all the way to the school entrance is also important. The first steps for schools and colleges is for them to assess requirements with surveys, then to develop a Travel Plan to outline the way that these are followed up and implemented.

A well thought out Travel Plan backed by senior management in the school can help manage travel far more safely, effectively and efficiently and reduce the school gate congestion and complaints from the local community.

We offer to all Wiltshire learning establishments:

  • School Travel Advisers with free support and advice
  • Free curriculum information
  • Free resources that can be offered as incentives to encourage sustainable travel
  • Funding to help deliver travel plan objectives to increase sustainable travel
  • A Travel Plan Template – email now for further details
