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.
