Safer routes to school projects are developed in partnership with local schools, district and borough councils and the Sussex Police. They aim to reduce car travel and increase the use of more sustainable ways of getting to school, such as walking and cycling, car sharing, and public transport. They also aim to improve road safety and raise awareness of the impact of transport on the environment and on personal health.
A dedicated team of school travel advisors are available to provide guidance on developing your school travel plan and developing initiatives that encourage a shift from car use to more sustainable forms of travel such as walking, cycling and using public transport.
Schools wishing to develop a safer routes to school scheme should first develop a School Travel Plan. If you would like further information about safer routes to school schemes and how you could develop one, please contact the team using the details provided in the related pages.
