The Active Travel to School Roadmap aims to reverse the declining rate of walking and cycling to school in Perth.
Containing 24 initiatives, the Roadmap seeks to address key urban planning, policy, individual and social factors, and enable more children to walk, bike ride, scoot and catch public transport to school.
The Roadmap was developed by a dedicated Active Travel to School Working Group, which was established by the Bicycle Riding Reference Group, and has been endorsed by the Departments of Transport, Education and Health, the Road Safety Commission, the Western Australian Local Government Association and the Institute of Public Works and Engineering Australasia.
Delivery of the Roadmap will commence in 2023 and progress will be reported to the Bicycle Riding Reference Group.
