The Active Travel Survey is more than a survey. It is a year-long project that supports schools to tackle a specific active travel need and track how their initiatives are increasing road safety awareness and active travel choices among pupils and families.
Alongside this, the project works closely with Bikeability to help schools address barriers related to cycling confidence, safety, skills and accessibility. By connecting schools with Bikeability training opportunities and support, the project enables more young people to develop the confidence and competence to travel actively and safely, complementing wider school-led initiatives and contributing to long-term behaviour change.
There are countless highlights including widened access to Bikeability, and several schools investing in school-owned bicycles and equipment to promote safe active travel to and from school. Several schools have even participated in national active travel campaigns, raising the profile of safe and active journeys to school.
