Travel Code Website Launched


The Travel Code was introduced in January 2010 to help improve the safety of children and young people as they travel between home and school or college. Poor behaviour has contributed to some tragic consequences in the past and the Travel Code aims to tackle this.

All children and young people between the ages of 5-19 are covered by the Travel Code, whether they walk, take the bus or train, bike or even travel by car.

It´s a parent or guardian´s responsibility to ensure their child (or children) abide by the Travel Code. There are implications if a child doesn´t follow the Travel Code, such as a Local Authority may withdraw access to free transport.

Ensuring every child understands and sticks to the Travel Code will not only help to save lives, but will make the pavements, buses and streets happier places to be for everyone.

The Travel Code has been launched with a fantastic competition to win a trip and tickets to see Wales play international rugby at the Millennium Stadium in November 2010.

You can download the Travel Code here and visit the website at www.travelcode.org

Make every journey a good one. Stick to the Travel Code.
