School travel plans

Our school travel plan gives our school community a set of practical actions to improve road safety, reduce car trips to school and encourage students to use more sustainable modes of transport, such as walking, cycling, buses and trains.

We work in partnership with Greater Wellington Regional Council to help schools implement travel plans.

  • 12 monthly resurveys
  • Travel plan development in combination with school staff, parents and students
  • Engaging student council
  • Student inquiry based learning modules
  • Developing school policy to support active travel
  • Walking school buses
  • Road safety and cycling education
  • Traffic calming measures
  • Improvements to parking management around the school
  • Installing or upgrading pedestrian facilities including pedestrian and kea crossings
  • Expanding school facilities – bike and scooter racks
  • Promotions that encourage walking trips
