The Flemish Foundation for Traffic Knowledge (VSV) guides and inspires schools in Flanders and Brussels (Belgium) to make their surroundings and cycle routes to them, safer. The aim is to have more children go to school by bike – and fewer by car.
VSV uses the measures included in their checklist as a guide to create a custom-made action plan for each school. In the checklist, attention is paid to infrastructure, education, awareness raising and enforcement, and tasks are included for schools as well as the municipality and the local police. The custom checklist will contain ten concrete actions at most, and it should be possible for at least half of them to be realised within a year. The content of each action plan therefore also differs.
