About the campaign
The #ActiveSchoolTravel campaign is a programme run by Public Health Wales to promote active ways of travel to school – by foot, wheelchaire, bicycle or scooter.
Active travel simply means making every day journeys, like travelling to and from school, by foot, wheelchair, bicycle or scooter. Walking/wheeling, cycling or scooting, using active ways of travel provides a range of benefits for you, your children and your communities.
As well as improving physical and mental health, it can boost our children’s confidence and independence, create space in our busy lives to check-in with one another, and has positive impacts on the environment.
Turning just one journey into an active journey every week or fortnight will bring benefits for you, your children and your communities.
Encourage active travel to improve children's physical fitness and mental well-being.
Foster self-reliance and confidence in children by promoting independent travel.
Reduce traffic and pollution, improving air quality and creating safer, more pleasant communities.
Our #ActiveSchoolTravel campaign is encouraging more people to take the active route to and from school.
We would love for you to get involved!
