For a school to be eligible for Way2Go Bike Ed, the school is expected to be an active Way2Go School in the last five years. This may mean that the school:
- has participated in the Way2Go Schools Program to create and deliver a School Travel Plan
- can demonstrate it encourages active travel and promotes safe walking, scooting and cycling to school
- can demonstrate improved road safety, traffic management and/or parking controls around the school in partnership with their local council
- has previously participated in Way2Go Bike Ed and will not have repeat students.
The Department for Infrastructure and Transport forwards an expression of interest to eligible schools during term three each year.
Is your school an active Way2Go School?
In the last 5 years, your school may have had one or more of the following:
- an established School Travel Plan
- Way2Go signs near school entry and exit gates
- road network infrastructure upgrades
- bicycle and scooter parking upgrades
- school crossing monitor training.
My school can demonstrate it encourages active travel to school through:
- initiatives in partnership with local council or another organisation
- school culture initiatives and policies
- orientation and promotion through enrolment information
- many students that cycle or scoot to school regularly
- promotion of active travel in school newsletters, websites, social media etc.
- participating in Walk to School and Ride to School days.
