What our work includes

Our work includes:

Writing School Travel Plans - We work with schools within the district to create an individual stand alone Travel Plan for each organisation. This can involve soft measures such as setting up school buses, walking buses, park and strides, cycle trains as well as looking into the highways and transport network for the school.
School Resources - We provide Training Resources and Days for Schools and Special Educational Needs. These resources can be lent as classroom learning resources or delivered on request by the Travel Awareness Team.
Partnerships - We work with local groups to provide the best service available. We also work with groups such as Metro and Sustrans, to deliver the highest possible customer services.
Promotion - We promote the benefits of walking, cycling and alternative Sustainable Transport/Road Safety. Once again this can be delivered by the Travel Awareness Team on request.
Health Benefits - Encouraging pupils, parents and staff to lead a more active lifestyle.
Sustainability - We look at the conservation of the Environment. Creating awareness of Healthy modes and the benefits that sustainable transport has on the environment and us as inhabitants. We help children understand their actions effect themselves and others through all of the above and specially arranged learning days in schools/activities.
