The CYC iTravel Team works with schools to promote safer, healthier and more sustainable travel for pupils and families. Whether you want to improve the environment, reduce congestion, boost children’s health, or address concerns such as unsafe parking outside the school gates, the team can help.

They offer guidance, resources and practical support, including help with travel planning, promoting active travel, and linking schools to useful services such as:

• Transport to school or college

• School crossing patrols

• Cycle training

For support or to discuss how iTravel can work with your school, contact the team at itravel@york.gov.uk.

WOW, created by Living Streets, is a year-round walk to school challenge that encourages children and families to travel actively every day. Pupils record how they travel to school, and those who walk, wheel, scoot or cycle at least once a week earn a fun, collectable badge each month.

 WOW has been fully funded for York schools to take part for free by Active Travel England.

Modeshift’s Active Travel Ambassadors programme empowers students to lead the way in promoting walking, cycling, scooting, and public transport at their school. Ambassadors raise awareness, inspire their peers, and help make journeys to school safer, healthier, and more sustainable.

Through fun campaigns, events, and peer-led initiatives, students develop leadership skills while supporting their school community’s move towards active travel.
