| Transport
at school |
| |
| How can your school
make a difference when
it comes to transport?
|
| |
| Providing a safe
environment for our kids
is paramount - so whether
they ride to school, join
a walking bus or become
streetwise rangers it
must be fun and safe as
well as sustainable.

| Walking
school bus The
walking school bus is
a fun, safe and active
way for children to travel
to and from school with
adult supervision. Each
bus walks along a set
route with at least one
adult 'driver', picking
children up at designated
stops and walking them
to school. The process
is reversed in the afternoon.
This not only reduces
the traffic chaos that
often erupts at the school
gate at those times but
creates a safer and closer
community. There's no
need to reinvent the wheel
- all the tools are provided
to start your school bus
today. Resource kits are
available through Roadsafe
or TravelWise.

| Bike
buddy Team up with
a friend, check that your
bike is up to scratch,
learn a few tips and tricks,
plot a safe route and
get to school under your
own peddle power. The
Bike
Buddies programme
is a great way to become
cycle smart and have fun
with your mates, it also
provides plenty of resources
and support to get you
on your bike. |

| Carpool
or rideshare How
many kids in your neighbourhood
are being driven to the
same school? What about
carpooling or ridesharing
for school drop offs and
pick ups instead of all
travelling individually?
A strong school and community
foster sustainable behaviour.
Organising shared transport
can help connect parents
in the neighbourhood -
all steps in the right
direction towards creating
a strong community. |

| Public
transport - bus, train
or ferry There
may be more ways to get
to school than you think…

all the options and plan
the best route for making
it to school before the
bell rings. |
