School Travel Pages

Welcome to the  Hertfordshire School Travel pages for parents / carers and school communities where we will keep you up-to-date with news, resources and promotions relating to travelling to and from school in safe, active, healthy and sustainable ways.

We are committed to help make walking, cycling and the use of passenger transport a realistic and attractive option for school  journeys and to support alternatives to using the car, particularly on short journeys.  In this way we aim to reduce congestion, particularly around schools, lower carbon emissions and contribute to children and young people’s health and well-being.

The County’s Safe and Sustainable Journeys Team provides advice and assistance to all Hertfordshire Schools  with their School Travel Plans. This also includes support with setting up walking initiatives such walking buses; road safety education; cycle training. For more details on the support to schools please contact ssj.schools@hertfordshire.gov.uk  or see the information in this area.
