 The idea for Safe Routes to Schools has been around for some years and the National cycle paths charity SUSTRANS has done a lot of work - mostly in England - to promote the idea of safer walking and cycling routes. Check Sustrans' Safe Routes pages for advice on why and how to start a local group.

Currently there are important projects in York and Colchester identifying routes around pilot schools and making them safer. Sustrans has calculated that it can cost around £100,000 per school for traffic calming measures.

About ten years ago Sustrans produced a report for Lothian Regional Council on all the secondary schools in Lothian. Unfortunately very little was done until recently.

In 1996 SPOKES issued a challenge to all Lothian schools.
