Safer School Journeys
The Safer School Journeys programme is a city-wide initiative designed to make streets around schools safer, healthier and more welcoming for pupils, families and the wider community.
Funded through the Clean Air Zone and aligned with the city’s Road Harm Reduction Strategy, this programme offers dedicated support to help schools identify and address road safety concerns, improve air quality, and encourage more walking, wheeling, and cycling.
We will work closely with schools selected for the programme to co-design practical improvements such as safer crossings and junctions, traffic calming, pavement protection, and street greening. Pupils, staff, parents and residents will be actively involved in shaping changes, ensuring they reflect each school’s unique needs and priorities.
This is a timely opportunity to:
- improve safety and well-being for your school community
- support active and sustainable travel
- contribute to a cleaner, greener Birmingham
The expression of interest period is now closed. For further information, send an email to Connected@birmingham.gov.uk
All schools in Birmingham can also benefit from the Modeshift STARS scheme, which offers support and resources to schools for taking steps to promote safer, greener and healthier travel.
