Greater Wellington — Getting to school

Walking, cycling and scooting to school offer children many benefits. Improved independence, physical and mental health, decision making, risk assessment and road safety skills, to name a few.

Greater Wellington provides tools and resources for schools to promote safe and active travel, and address congestion and safety issues around the school gate.

Visit Kura Kete to see our library of learning resources to promote active healthy and safe trips to school.
