Step 3: Setting your targets

Setting targets is an important part of your journey to accreditation. You must set at least two targets that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-related, so you can show you have reached them successfully.

Once you have identified your travel issues and discussed the them with your school travel working group you will be able to set your targets.

We recommend that you set a target to reduce car use or increase active travel, which you can measure via your yearly Hands-up survey and a target that focuses on safer travel. Your Borough Officer might be able to help you set your targets

For example, if you discover that the children would like to walk but parents don't because they don't think it's safe, you could set targets to increase road safety awareness across the school community, and to increase the number of students walking to school. You could also think about a target to increase the number of student who travel actively to school by 2% compared to our 2023 Hand-up Survey, by June 2025. Or reducing the number of cars idling on the street outside our school at pick-up time, from 15 to 9, by July 2024. .

Your Borough Officer can help you work out some SMART targets if you aren't sure what is achievable, or how to measure your success.
