Unfortunately the number of children and young people getting to school via an active travel mode has been in decline; however the ACT Government is looking at ways to encourage families with children and young people to once again choose to walk or ride to school, rather than using the car. What do you think would encourage more children to walk or cycle to school in the ACT? You can have your say at the Time to talk website.

Maybe we can learn from the experience in the Netherlands where they have managed to maintain their rates of walking and cycling to school, with policies, infrastructure and road safety campaigns to achieve this.
