In line with increased construction along major Canberra Roads scheduled to commence in July 2022, the Physical Activity Foundation, in partnership with Transport Canberra and City Services and the Education Directorate have been working together to support Canberra schools with travel planning. Specifically, a Disruption Taskforce has been established to help mitigate the traffic disruptions and encourage active travel by promoting more sustainable travel options, including to and from schools.
The Foundations key role has been to develop a range of travel planning and communication resources to help guide and support schools in dealing with traffic issues. Five schools have been contacted and will now receive support and guidance from the Disruption Taskforce team.
