TravelWise
Upper Harbour Primary School is a TravelWise School. Our Travel Plan was launched by the Mayor, Andrew Williams in Term Four, 2007.
TravelWise 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 Auckland Regional Transport Authority, North Shore City Council, and the school.
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 alert and ready to learn
• Promoting the Walking School Bus
