Welcome to the school and college travel section of Herts Direct.

This website will see some exciting changes over the coming 12 months which will provide you with all the school and college travel information that you need.

We have a range of programmes to help families safely access the schools and colleges of their choice by travel modes which will improve the well-being of those who use them and the quality of the local and wider environment.  Walking, cycling, using passenger transport or car-sharing can all help to achieve these aims.

Together these programmes form our "Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy (SMoTS) for Schools and Colleges 2009/10" which can be downloaded by clicking on the link above.
