A School Travel Plan (STP) is a written document that outlines a community’s intentions for enabling students to engage in active transportation (i.e. walking or bicycling) as they travel to and from school. A comprehensive STP is created through a team-based approach that involves key community stakeholders and members of the public to identifying barriers to active transportation.

By completing a STP, a community will have a guiding document to assist in improving walking and bicycling conditions for students, including strategies for promoting and encouraging active transportation to school. Serving as a foundation for the school’s SRTS program, the STP can be updated and modified as needed to comply with community values and goals.
