TfL funding

Suitable for all nursery, primary and secondary schools.

TfL funding gives you the opportunity to set up projects that encourage the whole school community to engage with active travel.

Funding can be used to fund all kinds of active travel projects, for example:

Your school must already have a bronze, silver or gold STARS accreditation to apply for TfL funding.
