About the activity
We know that your schools and nurseries are creative places and your pupils, staff and communities are bursting with ideas of how to get young London moving!
This is your chance to share your school’s own original smarter driving activities, different to anything else already listed on the TfL Travel for Life site.
Did your pupils create a smarter driving pack for their parents/carers complete with glittery diagrams showing how to reduce congestion around the school gates? Could your staff sign a collective pledge to adopt smarter driving habits?
