Sustainable school travel strategy
Local Authorities are required to promote the use of sustainable modes of travel and transport. They're also required to publish a sustainable school travel strategy. In response, we've created a Stockport Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy: 2020 to 2025.
The strategy sets out what's been achieved to encourage more children and young people to use sustainable modes of travel to school. Modes such as walking, cycling or public transport and also the extended right to free transport to pupils from low income backgrounds.
The document also sets out what work will be undertaken in the years to follow. This will be in order to meet the requirements of the Department for Education's home-to-school travel and transport statutory guidance.
