The Program: Five Easy Steps

School Travel Planning

The Canadian School Travel Planning project - coordinated in Nova Scotia by Active & Safe Routes to School (ASRTS) of the Ecology Action Centre - is an initiative of Green Communities Canada, and is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, George Weston Limited/Loblaw Companies Limited, and the Green Communities Foundation. (Production of these materials has been made possible through a financial contribution from the Public Health Agency of Canada. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of the Public Health Agency of Canada.)

Through the Canadian School Travel Planning project, ASRTS offers in-depth consultations to guide school and community groups through a five-step process to help more children and youth walk and wheel our streets in safety.
