Conduct Baseline Travel Surveys
Travel Surveys help schools understand how staff and pupils are currently travelling, and which measures might help at your school.
Guidance:
- Travel Surveys should be conducted annually, ideally in the same month each year (this prevents discrepancies in travel behaviour due to seasonal variation).
- Both staff and pupils should complete a survey.
- Pupil surveys can be conducted by 'hands up' surveys conducted in class.
- Analysing survey data can be a useful activity in maths and geography lessons. See the Safe and Sustainable Travel Activities document [PDF] for more ideas for classroom activities.
- Templates for staff staff and pupil surveys are available below:
Once the results of the 'baseline' surveys have been collected and recorded, targets can be set but this is not essential. Examples can be found here:
