School Travel

Visit our schools site to find out all you need to know about travelling to school, from events such as 'Walk to School Week' to school buses to information on cycle training.

This site has information for:

• Parents
• Pupils
• Teachers

The Merseyside Transport Partnership has School Travel Advisors that work across Merseyside within each local authority. They offer advice and support to schools developing and implementing a Travel Plan. This website can also help schools with their travel plan, whatever stage they are at.

You will find useful classroom resources linked to Key Stages of the curriculum, information about current government and local initiatives and plenty of inspirational advice about how to get the most from your travel plan for your school and local community.

Working with our partners we have also created a School Mapping Tool, which can be used by parents, pupils, and teachers to view the sustainable travel options to and from any school on Merseyside. You can view this within the GoTravelWise site or can access it directly at

As part of TravelWise Week 2009, TravelWise Merseyside coordinated a session with Liverpool’s Youth Parliament, which took place on Wednesday 23rd September 2009 at Liverpool Town Hall. Issues surrounding sustainable travel were debated by over 100 Secondary school pupils. Following this the Youth Parliament put forward a direct motion to the City Council regarding a scheme to allow pupils who currently receive a bus pass the option of swapping this for a bicycle.
