Road Safety Strategy

Our vision is to eradicate deaths and serious injuries from our roads, supporting an accessible, healthier and safer Cornwall.

Cornwall Council are a partner of Vision Zero South West; the road safety partnership working to stop all fatal and serious collisions in Devon and Cornwall by 2040. 

Sustainable Mode of Travel Strategy 

Cornwall Council has a statutory duty under the Education and Inspections Act 2006 to promote the use of sustainable mode of travel to meet the school travel needs of Cornwall. As set out in the Governments Travel to school for children of compulsory school age- Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities 2024" Cornwall Council is required to develop a Sustainable Mode of Travel Strategy to identify how Cornwall Council plans to promote and support sustainable transport to places of education across Cornwall. This strategy will be reviewed and updated as necessary prior to each academic school year.
