Its that time off year again, another summer flown by and we'd like to welcome back all our Smarter Travel students both primary and secondary and say a big hello to any new students who will be joining us this year in our sustainable travel journey.
Start the new school year off on the right note by getting in the habit of walking, cycling, scooting, getting the bus, using park and stride or by car sharing to school.
Leaving the car at home could involve a bit more advanced planning by you and your parents, you might need to get out of bed a little earlier, make sure to keep an eye on the weather to ensure that your suitably dressed and have a healthy breakfast to give your body fuel for the day ahead.
The first major event of the new school year will be European Mobility Week taking place from the 16th-22nd September, with this years theme being "choose, change, combine." This years multimodal theme hopes to encourage people to consider their transport options and to shake things up a little.
If you get the bus to school why not get off a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way, take the bike a few days a week , look into park and stride locations remember to "choose, change, combine".
