School Streets
We’re transforming the school run
A School Street makes it safer for students to walk, wheel or scoot to and from school by restricting access to motorised vehicles outside a school at drop-off and pick-up times. School Streets aim to create a pleasant, safe and child-friendly environment around schools, while making sure that essential access to the area is still possible.
Youth Travel Ambassadors
Empowering students to make change
The Youth Travel Ambassador (YTA) programme is for secondary school students and aims to empower them with the skills and confidence to address transport issues affecting their school communities, and in turn make active travel the top choice for travel to and from school.
Modeshift STARS school travel plans

It supports schools to identify transport issues, develop travel plans, monitor their impact, and gain national recognition through a five-level accreditation scheme ranging from Approved to Outstanding.
