The Safe Routes to School Programme is designed to encourage as many pupils and students as possible in primary and post-primary schools to walk and cycle.
It has three aims:- To accelerate the delivery of walking/scooting and cycling infrastructure on key access routes to schools.- To provide “front of school” treatments which will enhance access to your school grounds.- To expand the amount of bike parking available at schools.
