School travel plan

Coordinator's guide

A school travel plan brings together a package of measures that aim to reduce the congestion caused by the ‘school run’, reduce traffic danger and support students already travelling by more sustainable modes.

Land Transport New Zealand has prepared this material to help you get a school travel plan underway. Though there will be some variation across the country, dedicated staff members employed by regional or local councils will coordinate most school travel plans. This guide is written for these people – the school travel plan coordinators.

Under law, we must allocate resources and undertake functions in a way that contributes to an integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable land transport system. (Note: this is in line with walking school bus guidelines.)

By assisting schools to develop travel plans, Land Transport NZ is contributing to the government's vision as set out in the New Zealand Transport Strategy.
