Independent Active Travel - Year 7 Transition Guide

This guide for Your Move champions or Year 7 coordinators contains a series of recommendations and activities that will help encourage, model and reinforce active travel habits to your incoming Year 7 cohort and throughout the wider student population. 

We recommended that several activities in this package are repeated annually to normalise active travel behaviour to each incoming Year 7 cohort. 

Overview of activities

Your Move recommends completing the five activities in this guide to develop a culture of active travel throughout the school that is reinforced each year with a new Year 7 cohort. Each activity is outlined below with key responsibilities and links to additional support materials on the Your Move website.

1. Create a School Access Guide (Review every three years after completion)
2. Promote Your Move with YM Communications and Media Kit (Repeat every year)
3. Independent Travel - Information for Parents (Repeat every year) 
4. Student-led Active Travel Workshop (Repeat every year)
5. Independent Active Travel Trip Planning - Lesson Plan (Repeat every year)
