The Department does not hold a dataset regarding active travel journeys made by children to schools in the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority area. The Department publishes data on travel to school by children nationally using data collected in the National Travel Survey.

Active Travel England is supporting more children to walk, wheel and cycle to school by working with local authorities to deliver safe and accessible infrastructure and engagement programmes.
