Public Transport
The use of public transport at your school could be encouraged by:
- Including information in the school prospectus about local transport links
- Displaying public transport information, timetables and maps in the school's reception area
- Providing a link to public transport information on the school's website
- Encouraging the use of public transport for school trips and for staff when attending meetings or courses outside of the school
- Advising visitors of ways to travel to the school by walking or public transport instead of driving. Produce a sustainable travel information sheet to send out to prospective visitors to the school.
- Encouraging students/parents to obtain an Oyster photocard. Further information can be found on the TfL website.
TfL has produced Tickets Please (PDF, 465KB) which provides information on initiatives and case studies of how schools in London have successfully promoted public transport. To request pocket public transport maps please email sta@hackney.gov.uk.
More information on sustainable travel can be found in the Movegreener section.
