HomeRun STEP - school travel evaluation programme

HomeRun is the UK's first AI-powered intelligence platform for the school run. It offers data-led, software products that enable local authorities to efficiently manage and reduce the impacts of school travel on their communities and the environment.

The Safer, Greener, Healthier team have been working with them to understand which districts in Essex are most affected by the school run and which realistic solutions would have the greatest impact to cut carbon emissions, increase active travel and reduce congestion.

Watch the team talk about how this evidence base will help to inform our plans and allocate funding where the potential impact is greatest.
