Projects
- Evaluating the School Travel Co-ordinator Initiative (2005) DHC investigated the role of School Travel Co-ordinators (STCs) for the Scottish Executive, including reviewing the coverage and effectiveness of school travel planning.
- Children's Attitudes to Sustainable Transport (2003) for the Scottish Executive, investigated how educational and other influences on children affect their attitudes and behaviour and why children in Scotland develop different attitudes to transport from their counterparts in other countries.
- Review and Guidance on Safer Routes to School (1997-1998) (PDF, 90KB) This research for the Scottish Executive recommended a more integrated approach to planning school transport and developed national guidance on how to achieve best practice.
