The Education and Inspections Act 2006, places a general duty on Authorities to promote the use of Sustainable Travel and Transport. To enable us to do this effectively we have developed the Waltham Forest Sustainable Modes of Travel to School Strategy (SMoTS).
The strategy outlines the borough’s existing sustainable school travel options and sets out how those options are going to be developed in the future.
Overall aim of the strategy
The overall aim of this strategy is to promote a positive change in travel patterns towards safer, healthier, and more sustainable journeys to school. As well as making walking, cycling and public transport a realistic and attractive option for journeys to and from schools/colleges.
