Travel to School Guidelines
Episode 318
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
This webinar introduces the Travel to School Guideline, developed to support the planning and delivery of safe, active travel for students. The guideline promotes integrated, evidence-based approaches that prioritise children’s mobility, health, and safety within transport and land-use planning. It provides a practical framework for planning both new and existing schools, drawing on best-practice principles, policy guidance, and implementation tools suitable for a range of school environments. During the webinar, we explore key elements of the guideline, including: * Integrated planning – coordinating land use, school siting, and transport infrastructure to reduce reliance on car travel. * Collaboration – working across government, schools, and communities to achieve successful outcomes. * Integrated solutions – combining infrastructure improvements with travel behaviour change initiatives. * Community-informed planning– a model to ensure local knowledge shapes context-appropriate solutions. * Case studies, tools, and resources to support implementation and evaluation. The guideline is supported by two research reports covering the principles and best-practice evidence behind the guidance
