Safe & Active School Travel Program


Encouraging walking, rolling, cycling, and transit to and from school.


The Safe and Active School Travel Program (SASTP) explores ways to encourage a safe and healthy journey to and from school through programs, policy and infrastructure improvements.

Launched in 2014, the program is in partnership between the City of North Vancouver and North Vancouver School District (NVSD), and is core to the Mobility Strategy's vision to create healthy streets that work for everyone.

 

Benefits of Safe and Active Travel to School

  • Improved physical and mental health and well-being, as students arrive to school energized, better rested and ready to learn.
  • Stronger communities, as connections and friendships are made while walking, rolling, biking or taking transit to and from school.
  • Healthier communities, as reduced congestion around school zones is better for pedestrian safety and the environment.
  • Increased confidence around independent travel, as families develop healthy long-term habits, together.
