Haringey enhances sustainable school journeys

The London Borough of Haringey is taking strides to encourage sustainable travel for school journeys by using the Pindar Creative’s “make your own map” portal – SALI. The portal allows the borough to create custom maps that highlight safe and accessible routes for walking and cycling to local schools.

These maps are designed to help parents, students, and staff make informed choices about environmentally friendly travel, supporting Haringey’s commitment to reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. By prioritising active travel, the borough aims to promote healthier lifestyles for students while fostering a safer, more connected community. This initiative aligns with London’s broader sustainability goals and contributes to the city’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The SALI portal by Pindar Creative allows users, including Haringey Council, to create custom maps that promote safe and sustainable school travel. Using templates, local authorities can highlight key features like walk zones, cycling routes, and parking exclusion areas to make it easier for families to choose walking or cycling over driving. This tool supports Haringey’s active travel goals by providing both online and printable maps tailored to individual schools.
