Balanced News: Australian children aren’t walking to school – but there’s a plan to change that

Our 'quick read' news summary

Schoolchildren are more likely to be driven rather than walk or cycle to school, prompting a Sydney council to develop safe routes to encourage parents to let children navigate busy roads. The program is being overseen by the council and local schools, with the aim of encouraging more children to walk to school. The decline in active transport has been blamed on overprotective parents and busy roads, but initiatives such as the walking bus may help to change this.
