School Travel Planning (STP) is a community-based approach for increasing rates of active school travel. Through the STP process, stakeholders at the school and regional levels work together to create and implement action plans that use all five Es (education, encouragement, engineering, enforcement, and evaluation) to:
- address travel-related issues at schools; and
- encourage students in the ‘walk zone’ to walk or wheel for the school journey (and encourage students in the ‘bus zone’ to ride the school bus).
