Staffordshire County Council’s Active School Travel Team offers support for the journey to and from school to all Staffordshire Schools, we provide resources, support and advice to help the school community, parents and pupils to make active and sustainable travel choices.

Our aim is to inspire parents, pupils and students to take action in increasing active, sustainable travel to and from school across Staffordshire.

The benefits of active travel to school include; lower air pollution, increased health and fitness, lower cost, increased freedom, less impact on the environment and reduced carbon footprint. Teachers tell us that pupils who travel actively will arrive brighter and more alert, ready for learning as well as generally happier.

  • Walking Buses can be a fantastic way to cut congestion and parking issues around your school, as well as being a sustainable way of travelling, cutting air pollution and helping to fight climate change.
    They are supported by Staffordshire County Council's Active School Travel Team, which will have increased capacity from September 2024 onwards, and we are looking to either re-establish old Walking Buses or support new ones around the county.

    We know that as many as 170 Walking Buses were once established at schools around Staffordshire, but following the Covid-19 pandemic many of these Walking Buses stopped running and have not been re-established since.
    Please complete this survey to let us know:
    A: if you previously had a Walking Bus at your school, and if it was successful or not.
    B: if you have never had a Walking Bus at your school but would like to know more about Walking Bus.

    The questionnaire will take less than 5 minutes to complete.

  • School Streets has many benefits for schools including increased activity, lower air pollution and less congestion around the school.
    School Streets involve closing the street outside your school to most traffic at the beginning and end of the school day.
    Some exempt vehicles are allowed to use the street at these times, such as residents needing to access their property or parents with disabilities.
    We know that School Streets is not appropriate for every school but Staffordshire County Council are looking to work with 10 Schools around the county to bring School Streets to Staffordshire.

    If you would like to be involved then please complete this short survey to see if your school might be suitable.
