(a) & (c) The Department of Education does not collect data on the modes of transport students and staff use to get to and from individual schools. However, Shenton College has anecdotal data and the approximate range is available. It should be noted that modes of transport vary depending on the season and weather.
(b) (i)-(ii) 1500-1700
(iii) 5
(iv)-(v) 100-200
(vi) 200-250
(vii) 20-40
(d) (i)-(ii) 30-40
(iii)-(iv) 10-15
(v) 200-220
(e) No. However, the Department of Education engages independent traffic engineers to provide transport assessments for specific school sites when undertaking major capital works projects.
Additionally, many schools, including secondary schools, participate in the Department of Transport’s Your Move program. This is a free program that encourages students to become more active by increasing their walking, scooting and riding to school.
