School Travel Planning Committees work together to identify barriers to active school travel, and to create action plans to address those barriers. Here are some of the solutions that schools in the Waterloo region have accomplished.

Some concepts noted here have worked for more than one school and so are linked to Standard Operating Procedures intended to lend more information for consideration as committees form their action plans.
