The health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families in Oxfordshire is the leading priority within this strategy. We know that walking and cycling along with other methods of active and sustainable travel (wheeling, scooting and bus) can make a big difference to air quality, road safety and the health and wellbeing of children and young people, as well as the adults who travel with them.

To support these goals, we are developing a plan which will set out our vision and the principles that will underpin how we can work together to achieve this. The plan we are developing is the Sustainable School Travel Strategy.

We are already doing work that aims to support sustainable travel to school and college including cycle training, road safety education, school streets, and travel planning (action planning for schools to promote sustainable travel).

Oxfordshire County Council is committed to tackling climate change as this is the biggest challenge the planet is facing. The council's overarching vision is 'to lead positive change by working in partnership to make Oxfordshire a greener, fairer and healthier county'.

The Sustainable School Travel Strategy and the actions we identify with your help, will support us to achieve this vision and to meet the climate change challenge.

We want to ensure that the strategy:

Supports the health and wellbeing of our children and young people by enabling active and sustainable travel to school on a safe, net-zero Oxfordshire transport system.’

We want this strategy to focus on the following:

  • Improving health and wellbeing for children, young people, and their families
  • Facilitating more sustainable travel choices for school and college journeys
  • Making active travel (walking, wheeling, cycling, scooting) a safe and comfortable choice for school and college journeys.

Encouraging everyone to make sustainable travel choices for school and college journeys will contribute to healthier and safer living and a zero-carbon economy.

We would like to understand what will encourage people to make sustainable travel their preferred choice and how we can provide support to make this happen. From the information and feedback you provide, we will create an Oxfordshire County Council led action plan for improving sustainable travel to school and college.

Your feedback is important to us. Please complete the survey below. This will help us to better understand the needs, aspirations, and practicalities of increasing levels of more sustainable school and college travel.
