#17 – Involve pupils, students, parents and all relevant stakeholders

Traffic safety and mobility is a shared responsibility, and all relevant stakeholders at all levels should therefore be involved in education related to this topic. 

At a local level, traffic safety and mobility education is not only the responsibility of schools and kindergartens. Pupils and students, parents and other relevant actors, such as municipalities, the police, local road safety authorities and sport clubs, should also be involved.

Parents have a vital responsibility, as they are important role models for children. The choice of the form of transport to the day-care centre and to school, work and leisure time activities affects the child’s future mobility behaviour.

Student participation and involvement is furthermore important in order for traffic safety and mobility education to be effective. If students are able to also participate in the planning of traffic safety education activities in schools, it will be easier for them to connect what they have learned at school to real traffic situations.
