How do your students travel to school?
By using this online tool, you can help provide the data we need to make informed decisions when improving road safety and creating transport choice programmes. You can also use the tool as a learning tool in your classroom. The data is completely anonymous and secure. There is no way of identifying individual children and how they get to school.
During 2022 and 2023 we are trialling this online tool in association with Greater Wellington which some schools may choose to use alongside the Movin’March programme.
Movin’March schools are encouraged to sign up early to collect data over one week in February and then compare data with another week’s collection in March. Having graphs to compare travel habits will excite and motivate tamariki to think and act around active travel.
If you’re not taking part in Movin’March, this tool is a great way to encourage students to explore how their travel habits might impact on bigger picture thinking such as school gate congestion or climate change. Collecting data creates a great discussion point in the classroom for students.
If you have any questions, please email schooltravel@gw.govt.nz
Once you sign up, you can create a dataset for the children in your classroom, home class or year group. You share a link with your students, and each day they click on a picture of the way they travelled to school. That information is turned into a graph that you can view and share.
You can have as many datasets as you need. For example, you might like to have a different dataset for every classroom in your school. You can have as many children in a dataset as you require, so long as each child has access to a device to enter how they got to school in the morning.
The data is completely anonymous and secure. There is no way of identifying individual children and how they get to school.

Once you have collected the travel data, you can view bar graphs on screen or download a CSV for more detailed analysis. You can use the data for teaching in the classroom, or to help your school understand travel behaviour. The data also helps Waka Kotahi understand travel behaviour around schools.
