Cycle parking installed

Cycle parking installed

About this activity

Suitable for primary and secondary schools.

NB: We’re bringing together all the TfL education programmes, including STARS, under one exciting new umbrella programme called TfL Travel for Life. They will be the same great programmes, but with a new name and a new look, easier online process and dedicated support team. STARS for primary schools will be renamed TfL Explorers. STARS for secondary schools will be renamed TfL Pioneers.

Install cycle parking to encourage your pupils and colleagues to cycle to school rather than take the car. This can help reduce congestion and improve road safety and air quality around the school gates.

Speak to your borough officer for ideas on obtaining funding for cycle parking.

Please note: you can only mark this activity as complete once your cycle parking is installed.

How to evidence your activity

  • Involve your borough officer: Share your ideas, agree your objectives and discuss any challenges you face
  • Record the feedback from your pupils, their parents/carers and colleagues. Keep a track of how your new parking facilities are used
  • Sign in to TfL Travel for Life to add your story. Explain the activity, add photos of your new cycle parking and any bike counts you do
