Travel plans

School travel plans

We encourage schools to promote healthier and more environmentally-friendly forms of transport.

A school travel plan sets out ways to reduce the number of car trips made to and from school. It also improves safety on the school journey.

You can develop a school travel plan using the national school awards scheme Modeshift STARS.

A travel plan will:

  • be a whole school initiative which involves children, staff, parents, governors and the wider community.
  • aim to enable parents and children to choose to walk, cycle and use public transport with confidence
  • address health, safety, environment, education, and other social issues.
  • have clear, measurable aims, objectives and targets

For advice, read our travel plan guidance.
