TfL Travel for Life school programme

From helping little Londoners be safe around roads, to supporting primary and secondary children to become more active, responsible and safe.

What is TfL Travel for Life?

TfL Travel for Life is a free accreditation programme that offers a series of free educational programmes (from ages 3 to 17) to schools and education settings across London.

Our commitment

The goal is to increase active and sustainable travel options when travelling to and from school, reduce car use and improve safety.

We work in partnership with the London Transport Museum and London boroughs.

Accreditations

We award a gold, silver or bronze accreditation based on the number of activities a school or education setting has completed.

In all activities, schools aim to:

  • Reduce congestion
  • Improve road safety
  • Improve health and wellbeing

There are 3 levels of TfL Travel for Life accreditation: gold, silver and bronze.

The level a school achieves depends on:

  • How successful they have been in reducing car use and increasing sustainable travel
  • How many travel activities they complete
