Travel savvy community! If you already walk or cycle to school, keep up the good work! Talk to your friends/classmates & family to see if you can help someone else with their journey. If you drive all the way to school, talk to your friends/classmates & family to see if you can turn your red car journey into a green one.
If you think you have some good ideas, or just want some more help, tell your teacher that you would like to have a chat about your journey with Mr Gapper. We could map your route to school using Google maps and/or Herts County s School Journey Planner. You could answer questions in our 2012 Walk the World Survey to see if they help.
