  • Offer children and parents an alternative choice of travel mode.
  • Improve health and fitness.
  • Meet school pupils needs by identifying problems they face on the school journey.
  • Develop pupil independence and self-esteem.
  • Reduce the vicious circle of school travel (i.e. Parents fear danger from traffic – parents drive children/pupils to school – traffic increases – parents fear danger from traffic)
