Safe Routes to School Fingal

srts

The Safe Routes to School programme aims to create safer walking and cycling routes within communities, alleviate congestion at the school gates and increase the number of students who walk or cycle to school by providing walking and cycling facilities. The improvements to a school’s commute may range from an upgraded footpath or addition of a protected cycle lane to a complete reworking of a school’s entrance to better accommodate walking and cycling.

In June 2021, 11 Fingal schools were selected for round 1 of the programme and will work with a designated infrastructure officer from Green-Schools who will liaise with the school and local authority as works are planned and carried out.

Schools were selected for participation in the programme for 2021 based on a mix of criteria including school type, location and school’s commitment to sustainable travel. The programme is funded by the Department of Transport through the National Transport Authority (NTA) and is supported by the Department of Education. An Taisce’s Green-Schools is co-ordinating the programme and Fingal County Council will play a key part in delivering the infrastructure to support this programme.
