T25 Support School Streets projects (Safe Routes to Schools)
In the next 5 years
EWCC, Climate Change
# of participants
Update: SDCC Active Travel team support the Safe Routes To School programme, with the objectives;
• To accelerate the delivery of walking, scooting and cycling infrastructure on key access routes to schools.
• To provide ‘front of school’ treatments which will enhance access to school grounds.
• To expand the amount of bike parking available at schools. The programme recognises that if more school children choose active travel to schools, it will have significant benefits for their health and wellbeing, the environment around them and make school entrances safer for all.
T26 Support WeCount/IChange Air quality monitoring project
In the next 5 years
# of schools participating
Update: South Dublin County Council have collaborated in the WeCount / I-Change project with UCD, by funding air quality monitoring equipment at schools in the county, through the Climate Innovation Fund. The WeCount project empowers citizens to measure road traffic and air pollution in their own neighbourhoods.
WeCount is a European citizen engagement project with case studies in six cities: Dublin, Cardiff, Barcelona, Madrid, Leuven, Ljubljana. Citizens and community groups within each city are provided with low-cost sensors that count heavy vehicles, cars, bicycles, pedestrians and air pollution at the street level. Data collected is used to provide evidence of the need of sustainable mobility policies around schools, such as the 30km/h speed limit around schools, the School Zone initiative, etc. https://we-count.net/networks/dublin
