Decision - Safe & Sustainable Travel to Schools

1)           That Members note the Council’s school travel management activities, the adopted policy and the School Travel Planning procedures being followed.

2)           That Members endorse the proposals described under ‘Next Steps’ and summarised below:

·         To establish robust data sources that enable the School Travel Advisors to guide schools on the ways that they can support and maintain lower car use for the trip to/from school – especially the sharing of post code data between service teams as a priority;

·         To target  parking/anti-social driving enforcement based on a proven need approach, where enforcement complements other measures in the School Travel Plan;

·         Continued collaborative working between Road Safety and Public Health officers to achieve healthy, active lifestyles and meet performance targets for public health;

·         The promotion of School Travel Plan development by Children & Young People’s Services to all city schools.
