What is a School TravelPlan?
|
 |
A School Travel Plan is a document produced
by pupils, parents, school staff and governors, in partnership with the
community and Sheffield City Council, to manage its methods and
resources for getting children to and from school safely. All schools
must have a plan by 2010. |
|
|
The main reason for writing a School Travel Plan is
to reduce the number of cars on the school run every morning and encourage
other modes of transport such as walking, cycling and public transport.
However, this is by no means their only aim. They should also include
realistic and achievable aims that will improve children’s health and safety,
education, the school environment and help in combating social exclusion.
