Abstract

The complexity of traffic, particularly around school zones at drop off and pick up times elevates the risk of road trauma occurring. Health behaviour change programs, such as anti smoking programs, have demonstrated the positive influences children can have on the behaviour of other family members, and the TravelSMART Schools program combines some elements of these health promoting programs to bring about changes in travel. The TravelSMART Schools program aims to reduce the negative impacts of car travel through a reduction in vehicle trips and kilometres travelled, achieved through voluntary behaviour changes by individuals and households. This paper will outline both the process for implementing a school based program and the content of the Victorian TravelSMART Schools Program. The evaluation, both process and impact, of the program will also be highlighted. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E210413.
