Toxic air on the school run shortens lives.

Children who travel by car and those that walk along busy roads to school breathe more polluted air than families who walk along quieter roads.

Parent or not, this affects us all. There is a collective responsibility for everyone to take action. By supporting families to walk along more tranquil roads, we can help to reduce children’s exposure to air pollution and the life-shortening illnesses associated with toxic air.

Go Jauntly’s Walk to School Challenges supports the UK’s national policy to reduce the annual mean concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 2040. Our feature perfectly complements guidance from Active Travel England (ATE) and the Department for Transport that helps local authorities deliver school streets that restrict traffic and enable more pupils to walk, wheel and cycle.

You can find out more about the easy-to-roll out school challenge below.
