Sample Transportation Audit

Use the Sample Transportation Audit (PDF, 76 Kb) to help you assess your School's transportation footprint. You will use the data you collect to create your Action Plan.

Students and staff arrive at school in many ways: on foot, by bicycle, by school bus or public transportation, in a private vehicle. These transportation choices have an impact on the environment and on our health. This section will help your Eco-Action Team assess the transportation choices at your school and help you to identify alternatives. You should feel free to add or edit questions so that this audit is useful and relevant for your school and your community.
