What we can do for you…

Provide you with networks

The Association encourages networking so members can learn from each other's experience and expertise in a wide range of travel awareness matters, from curriculum links, to useful partners and funding opportunities. You will be invited to your region’s regular network meetings to discuss the latest issues and to raise new ones. 

Our members are experts in the following kind of initiatives and can help you:

• School Travel Plans
• Travel Plans for hospitals, workplaces and other sites
• Effective and targeted sustainable transport campaigns, such as Walk to School Week and Bike Week
• Encouraging walking, cycling, car sharing and public transport use through a variety of events, activities and programmes
