The overall aim of the service is to increase the number of young people travelling to school actively and/or sustainably with a particular focus on areas that have seen infrastructure improvements and with a particular focus on the strategic growth areas, and areas with high health inequalities.
With Specific Aims as follows:
• To reduce the number of young people travelling to school by car – with a shift to active travel modes or use of public transport.
o For schools that have been previously engaged as a minimum the target is to achieve levels of cycling, scooting and walking that were achieved by the previous schools engagement programme
o For schools that have not previously been engaged: doubling of cycling and scooting on pre-engagement levels reflecting a reduction in journeys to school by car with no significant reduction in levels of walking.
• To raise awareness of the benefits of active travel in schools and the wider school community of parents and teachers. To create a culture of active travel within project schools and the wider school community of parents and teachers that can be sustained once the project has ended
• Work in partnership with the City’s Bikeability provider, in order to maximise the benefits of all programmes.
• Maximise awareness of, and participation in, activities associated with the wider Plymotion programme amongst school children and the wider school community of parents and teachers.
