School Travel Strategy Consultation
Overview
At Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), we are committed to improving travel to and from places of education across Greater Manchester. The draft School Travel Strategy sets out our vision and approach to enabling more young people to walk, wheel (wheelchair users, people using a mobility aid, and people pushing a buggy/pram), scoot, cycle or use public transport to get to school and access further education.
The full draft School Travel Strategy, including an easy read and plain text version along with the Equality Impact Assessment are available at the bottom of this page.
Why your views matter
This is your opportunity to share your views and ideas on how we can improve school and college journeys for everyone. Your feedback will be used to inform the final version of the School Travel Strategy. Further information on how we will use this information you provide is available in our privacy notice.

This consultation is open to everyone who lives or travels in Greater Manchester. We are particularly keen to hear from children and young people and their parents and guardians, as their experiences and ideas are essential in shaping a transport system that works for them now and in the future.
