Journey planner which allows students to risk assess their own daily journey to and from school.
Road safety quiz which tests students on road safety facts relevant to their age group.
Youth Travel Ambassador ( YTA)
A group of year 9 students (up to 10 recommended) will become YTA’s. They will be looking at ways to promote safer, more active travel for the year 6 transition to secondary school. This is a 6-to-8-week programme. We are happy to discuss with each Secondary school what works best for you.
The YTA’s will be supported fully by a road safety officer who will meet with them regularly. The road safety officer will provide advice, information and resources. The YTA’s are encouraged to investigate through statistics, surveys and focus groups then start planning what and how they want to promote safe and active travel, including possibly being involved in the school’s transition days for year 6’s, visiting feeder primary schools to talk to the year 6’s or producing information for the year 6’s.
For more information please email road.safety@cambridgeshire.gov.uk putting YTA in the subject area.
Students at Neale Wade Academy made a series of four short road safety films for their peers which can be seen at Cambs County Council Road Safety - YouTube.

Young Driver Workshops
The Vision Zero partners are working with PC AJ Boddington, Casualty Reduction Officer, to deliver free young driver workshops for 16 to 18-year-olds. The workshops are being held at further education schools and colleges across Cambridgeshire. These bespoke workshops introduce key road safety messages to learner and newly qualified drivers. They also cover safety issues on local roads.
The sessions are one hour, in-person talks, tailored to the audience. To book a school visit and talk, contact PC AJ Boddington directly at adrian.boddington@cambs.police.uk.
