Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy (SMoTS)
Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy (SMoTS)
Local Authorities have a duty to promote sustainable travel for journeys to, from, and between schools and other educational settings. A Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy is an opportunity to create a clear, joined‑up plan that improves sustainable travel options across education.
This Modeshift STARS Education guidance provides practical steps for creating and updating your SMoTS to ensure it is effective and aligned with local priorities. A well‑developed SMoTS can also support your STARS accreditation approach, helping schools meet their active and sustainable travel targets.
