Active Travel Ambassador Scheme

The Active Travel Ambassador (ATA) scheme is a pilot programme to engage with secondary school students. It aims to help them to develop their own approaches to promoting sustainable travel options to school.  This may include walking and cycling.  

The programme provides young people aged 11 to 16 with confidence and skills. This is to help them address transport issues affecting their school community. 

ATA teams have support from a local ATA coordinator and school staff. They research and develop behaviour change campaigns. ATA focuses on active travel and road safety. This year AtoBetter is supporting 5 high schools to participate and sign up to the scheme by offering them £5,000.   

Spaces are limited so get in touch soon to secure a place on the programme.
