School & workplace travel

Providing ways for people to get safely and efficiently to schools and workplaces is part of an effective and sustainable transport system. ViaStrada has developed or assisted with school travel plans in Queenstown, Hastings, Palmerston North, Whakatāne, and Whangārei as well as assisting with the Hastings District Council workplace travel plan. We have also undertaken safety audits of new or planned facilities near several schools. John has presented on travel planning internationally, produced travel plans for the many cities in California and conducted evaluations for school travel planning activities in Alameda County, California and Auckland, NZ.
