Sustainable Travel
"Transport for London and local boroughs are working with schools to encourage them to develop travel plans through a London school travel programme
The aims of the program are to:
- Significantly reduce the number of cars travelling to and from schools
- Remove the barriers, both perceived and actual, to walking, cycling and taking public transport to school
- Increase the number of young people and adults choosing ‘active travel‘ over travel by car
- Increase understanding among school communities of the travel options available to them
- Provide information to help school communities understand the benefits of active, sustainable transport and positively influence their travel decisions"
