STARS – Sustainable Travel: Active, Responsible, Safe
STARS – Sustainable Travel: Active, Responsible, Safe
STARS is TfL’s accreditation scheme for London schools and nurseries. STARS inspires young Londoners to travel to school sustainably, actively, responsibly and safely by championing walking, scooting and cycling.
STARS supports pupils’ wellbeing, helps to reduce congestion at the school gates and improve road safety and air quality.
Why STARS?
The average journey to school is less than one kilometre, that’s around a 10-minute walk. However, many of these journeys are made by car leading to congestion and an unsafe and polluted environment for us all. By swapping car journeys for active travel, together STARS schools can make a real difference to our city and support the Mayor’s vision for Healthy Streets.
Be part of the solution
Since the accreditation scheme started in 2007, STARS schools’ pupils, parents/carers and staff have replaced over 22 million kilometres of car journeys with active travel! That’s an incredible step towards a healthier, less congested London.
