Designed to teach children essential road safety skills, the initiative has been a resounding success, empowering the next generation to travel safely and confidently.
What Is the Scooter Training Program?
The scooter training program aims to:
- Equip children with practical road safety knowledge and skills.
- Promote active travel, encouraging healthier lifestyles and reducing reliance on cars.
- Build confidence in young learners by teaching them how to navigate roads and paths safely.
This forward-thinking initiative is part of Shropshire Council’s broader commitment to community wellbeing and safer transport options.
