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 partnership activities, different to anything else already listed on the TfL Travel for Life site.

Work with your TfL Explorers Ambassadors or TfL Pioneers Ambassadors, your school travel working group and colleagues to find local and other partners to work with to support your TfL Travel for Life work.

Have you got a partnership in place with your local bus garage to meet drivers and discuss travel related items? Could pupils visit a nearby elderly people’s home to find out from its residents how transport has changed over the years?
