ELMO Active & Safe Routes to School
School Travel Planning
We would like to invite you and your child to participate in a study aimed at understanding how the School Travel Planning program influences children’s travel behaviours, physical activity levels, and air quality around your child’s school. School travel planning is a school-specific program that uses the 6 E’s of Safe Routes to School (i.e., Education, Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement, Equity, Evaluation) to try to increase the number of students who choose environmentally friendly modes of travel to get to and from school. The study is being conducted with grade 4 to 8 students at elementary schools across the Thames Valley District School Board & London District Catholic School Board.
What will happen in this study?
As the parent/guardian, you will be invited to:
- Complete the School Travel Planning Family Survey
- Provide parental consent for your grade 4 to 8 child(ren)
If you agree for your grade 4 to 8 child to participate in our project, your child will be asked to:
- Provide Assent
- Complete the School Travel Planning Survey for Youth
