The Hands Up Scotland Survey looks at how pupils across Scotland travel to school and nursery.
Established in 2008, the survey has been providing an insight into journeys to school for more than a decade and is the largest national dataset on school travel.The project is funded by Transport Scotland and is a joint survey between Sustrans and all 32 Scottish local authorities.Each September, schools across Scotland complete the survey by asking their pupils ‘How do you normally travel to school?’.Local authority officers distribute the survey to schools and return pupil responses for overall collation, analysis and reporting.
The results provide a valuable annual snapshot of school travel and are used by Sustrans, Transport Scotland and other groups to:
• Inform policy areas
• Monitor trends in school travel over time
• And provide information relevant to a variety of health, transport and education initiatives.
