In 'Travelling to School: A Good Practice Guide' the Government states that in future a school travel plan will need to be a written document. This document should include:

• A brief description of the location, size and type of school
  
• A brief description of the travel/transport problems faced by the school/cluster of schools. This should include all pupils' travel needs: journeys to and from school at normal start/finish times, journeys to attend pre- and after-school events and journeys made during the school day to attend activities at other locations.
  
• The results of a survey to identify a) how children currently travel to/from school and b) how they would like to travel to/from school
  
• Clearly defined targets and objectives
  
• Details of proposed measures
  
• A detailed timetable for implementation
  
• Clearly defined responsibilities
  
• Evidence that all interested parties have been consulted and;
  
• Proposals for monitoring and review
