TravelWise has begun this year at Rosehill College. It is an ongoing project with a set of practical actions that aim to improve road safety and promote sustainable transport to and from school. It is a partnership between the Auckland Regional Transport Authority, Auckland City Council, and Rosehill college.

 The benefits include:

• Reduced traffic congestion at the school gates
• Reduction of polluting car emissions in the environment
• Helping children learn road sense skills and become familiar with their community
• Improved engineering infrastructure to promote walking within the school zone
• Encouraging walking to improve children’s fitness and health
• Encouraging walking to ensure that children arrive at school alert and ready to learn
• Promoting the Walking School Bus

The “Travelwise” travelplan has been developed by the working party following consultation with the students, staff, parents and local residents.
