The STARS Safer Journey Planner was created for all new Year 6 and Year 7 pupils in London, to help them travel safely, confidently and independently to and from their new secondary school. It’s a fantastic way to help prepare for this vital transition.
Plan my journeyFor young people (10-11 years old)
Travelling to school on your own for the first time is a big deal. It’s also a time when lifelong habits are formed. Whether you’re walking, cycling, scooting or catching public transport, STARS Safer Journey Planner helps you make each trip safely, responsibly, and with respect for others.
For parents and guardians
Based on TfL’s Safety and Citizenship programme, STARS Safer Journey Planner combines vital safety, active travel and journey planning advice in a way that’s tailored to young people, while also supporting our Healthy Streets and Vision Zero initiatives.
Introducing STARS
At TfL, we want to encourage more young Londoners to walk, cycle and use public transport. STARS is an accreditation scheme for schools, nurseries and colleges that’s designed to inspire pupils and students to travel sustainably, actively, responsibly and safely.
STARS is your opportunity to make a real difference to your community. Each school is in charge of its chosen activities, with support from the London boroughs and TfL.
Healthy Streets
Healthy Streets aims to improve air quality and reduce congestion, helping to make London a greener, healthier and more attractive place to live, work, play and do business.
The aim of Vision Zero is for no one at all to be killed or seriously injured on our roads, making London a safer place for everyone.
