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
