Local School's Cycling Facilities
This page shows the improvements that have been made to cycling facilities in and around schools over the past two years as part of the Scottish Government's Tackling the School Run initiative in the 4 local authority areas targeted by our 'Get into cycling to school' campaign.
Many schools also have cycling facilities pre-dating this project. For more detailed information on the specific facilities in your local school, contact the school for more details.
All works were carried out by Sustrans on behalf of the Scottish Government.
