WALK THIS WAY
TfL are working to make walking easier, safer and more pleasant for everyone with their ‘Why Not Walk It?’ campaign. This is part of the Mayor of London’s vision to make London one of the most walking-friendly cities by 2015. TfL are working on improving the pedestrian environment and introducing special walking routes. Did you know that 109 journeys between Central London tube stations are quicker by foot? Or that half of London car journeys are less than two kilometres and could be walked in just 25 minutes? Go to www.legiblelondon.info for more details.
WHEELY GREAT
Over the past year, the number of cyclists in London has grown by 83 per cent. Money spent on cycling has included building and extending the cycling network, improving greenways and providing lots of cycle parking on the street, at railway and underground stations, in schools and in workplaces across the capital.
THE PLAN STARTS HERE
All schools in London need a travel plan and you can help write one too! Having a travel plan means that your school can get funding for great schemes such as Walk to School weeks, WoW and other cycling reward schemes such as Go Bike – all really popular with schools.
