For schools and nurseries

Transport planning for schools and nurseries.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

We are adding pupils. Will we need a Transport Assessment?

It depends on the increase and local conditions. Many expansions need a Transport Statement and an updated Travel Plan rather than a full assessment.

Can you run travel surveys with parents and staff?

Yes, including short online surveys and hands-up surveys in class.

Can building work happen during term time?

Often, with a construction traffic plan that avoids drop-off and pick-up times.
