The government has funded a scheme to provide general information for parents and carers about walking, cycling, bus and train travel to school, and how car use can be reduced. The purpose of this is to encourage more people to become more active and make the area around schools safer (especially for those walking and cycling), as well as improving the environment for everyone.

For further details of active or sustainable travel to a particular school, see the school’s website via www.eduwight.iow.gov.uk or contact the school and ask to talk about their travel plan. Alternatively, please contact the sustainable school travel advisor on (01983) 821000 or email helen.stichbury@iow.gov.uk
