Abstract
The 'school run' has become a major factor in traffic congestion, particularly in the morning peak. To address this issue, the National Transport Authority has been working, in conjunction with An Taisce and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, with the Green Schools programme to establish and oversee a school travel module, which is funded by the Department. 850 schools and approximately 180,000 pupils are currently involved in the travel module, which has been extremely successful in reducing the numbers of children who travel to school by car. Recent surveys of over 10,000 pupils reveal a 27% drop in car use and a correspondingly significant increase in numbers of pupils walking and cycling to school.
