Think about how to become an active travel champion. You could set goals for increasing safe, active journeys to and from school for you and your classmates. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Introduce "Wheelie Wednesdays" - a weekly event where all students are encouraged to use wheels (bikes, scooters) for their commute.
  2. For rural schools, organise a "Carpool Crew" system to reduce individual car trips.
