We are committed to ensuring that every child can travel to and from school safely, sustainably, and with ease. Our School Travel Planning initiative is designed to support schools, parents, and communities in developing effective travel strategies that promote healthier lifestyles, reduce environmental impact, and enhance road safety.

Why does School Travel Planning matter?

The journey to school is an important part of the day for thousands of pupils across Fife. It could be by walking, cycling/scooting, using public transport or travelling by car. How pupils commute to school has a direct impact on their health, well-being and academic performance. Our goal is to make these journeys as accessible, enjoyable and environmentally friendly as possible.

Our Key Focus Areas (FACT)

We are proud of the progress schools across Fife have made in creating safer and more sustainable travel environments. There is still more to do and our FACT groups (Frankie’s Active Campaigners Team) within schools are working extremely hard to make positive and long-lasting changes.
