Travel to School Guidelines

This webinar introduces the Travel to School Guideline, developed to support the planning and delivery of safe, active travel for students. The guideline promotes integrated, evidence-based approaches that prioritise children’s mobility, health, and safety within transport and land-use planning. It provides a practical framework for planning both new and existing schools, drawing on best-practice principles, policy guidance, and implementation tools suitable for a range of school environments. During the webinar, we explore key elements of the guideline, including: * Integrated planning – coordinating land use, school siting, and transport infrastructure to reduce reliance on car travel. * Collaboration – working across government, schools, and communities to achieve successful outcomes. * Integrated solutions – combining infrastructure improvements with travel behaviour change initiatives. * Community-informed planning– a model to ensure local knowledge shapes context-appropriate solutions. * Case studies, tools, and resources to support implementation and evaluation. The guideline is supported by two research reports covering the principles and best-practice evidence behind the guidance
