School Travel Plans
These pages will give information on the following:What are School Travel Plans?
A School Travel Plan is a document produced by the whole school community and any other interested parties. It looks at how pupils, staff, visitors and other site users travel to and from school.
Travel Surveys
The first step in the process is to carry out staff and pupil travel surveys.
Action Plan
The action plan is developed after problems and issues from the surveys and consultation have been identified.
STP Review
The STP is not a definitive document; schools commit to review their plan on an annual basis.
Grants
As part of completing an approved School Travel Plan, the City Council awards schools with a grant to enable them to purchase either secure cycle storage or a parent waiting shelter.
School Zones
Southampton City Council has made a commitment to implement 20 mph zones outside all Southampton schools, with the aim of ensuring drivers are aware of the need for caution at all times when passing a school.
Work Place/School Travel Plan Business Links
In 2007, Southampton City Council launched a unique initiative to bring schools and businesses together through their travel.
School Crossing Patrol (SCP) Pledges
School Crossing Patrol pledges were introduced in 2006.
School Travel Plan Network Meetings
