Safe Routes to School Program

The Safe Routes to School Program aims to make walking safer and easier, and encourage parents and children to choose walking, scooting or riding to school.

Achieving this requires teamwork. Council can improve footpaths, install crossings, improve lighting, and other infrastructure and safety upgrades where it's needed most.

The well-understood benefits of walking to school include increased physical activity, better concentration in class, and improved well-being through a degree of independence. This is in addition to reducing car congestion around schools.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their feedback through the survey and mapping tool. The surveys have now closed and we are reviewing the feedback.
