Active travel to school information for parents
Fed up with the stress of the school run and finding it more and more difficult to park near the school gates? Then why not get involved in My Journey, a project funded by the Department of Transport that aims to encourage alternatives to car travel in and around your local area? By walking, scooting, cycling or using public transport for school journeys you could save money, improve your health and well being whilst helping to reduce congestion and pollution in the local area, making it a nicer environment for your child.
We have lots of fantastic and engaging initiatives that are inspiring parents and children across the county to get involved and make travel to school a lot more fun and safer. We offer cycle skills training and bike workshops to name but a few.

How Could you Travel to School? booklet
Our 'How Could you Travel to School?' booklet has been produced to help parents understand the travel to school options available to them when their children start school, even if it's choosing an alternative to the car once or twice a week.
