Safe Routes to School
With the help of children, we map the surroundings of schools. In cooperation with traffic experts, we then improve safety in those areas.
About the program
- We create safer routes.
- We reduce traffic.
- We explain the benefits of walking to school to children.
- We support children’s self-reliance on their way to school.
- We help schools to create healthy environment for children in their vicinity.
This year we help here
How the program works:
We respect children’s opinion, obtained through a detailed survey, while also analysing the traffic around schools. Based on active cooperation with children, a traffic engineer proposes adjustments to high-risk locations to increase their safety. The proposals are discussed within a working group of school representatives, politicians, public servants, police officers, and other stakeholders involved in the decision-making process.
