The blue active streets stencils can be found around another 53 ACT schools and make getting to school a breeze.
10 May 2023
An ACT Government initiative is encouraging Canberra kids to walk, scoot, skate or ride to school.
As part of the Active Streets for Schools program, this year 1,500 blue stencils are being installed on footpaths around 53 ACT schools to help students get to school in the safest and easiest way possible.
Active Streets for Schools promotes healthy habits and making physical activity part of a daily routine, which goes a long way towards improving wellbeing and reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases later in life.
Spaced every 200-300 metres, the wayfinding stencils indicate the best route to school with each beginning at a part-way point. Part-way points could be a quiet residential street, parking space at a nearby park, or a location with on-street parking which allows student drop off or pick up away from crowded school streets.
To see if your school has Active Streets for Schools, find your school in the drop down on the Transport ACT website and get your school’s ride or walk to school brochure: https://www.transport.act.gov.au/travel-options/schools
