School Streets and Stomp to School – Wave 2 2022

Overall, the majority of respondents ‘strongly’ support the continuation of the scheme (56%). However, there was a significant decrease in the level of ‘strong’ support between Wave 1 (74%) and Wave 2 (43%).

21% of respondents believe the School Streets trial changed how their children travel. For parents that reported change, there is a large decrease in car usage to school (from 64% pre-trial to 20%) and from school (72% to 21%).

Over half of all respondents with children attending the trial schools have downloaded the Pompey Monster’s Stomp to School Challenge via the GoJauntly app (52%). 61% of those who downloaded it said it has encouraged their children to use more active travel methods.

Most respondents (83%) are ‘very likely’ or ‘likely’ to recommend the challenge to others across all schools.

The main aim was to understand the views of parents and guardians that drop off/pick up children from Meon and St John’s about the School Streets scheme and the Pompey Monster Stomp to School challenge. The consultation focused on the following objectives:

• To identify what modes of travel parents/guardians currently use to drop off and pick up their child/ren from school
• To identify any barriers parents/guardians have in using active travel
• To understand if these modes have changed (and if they have changed due to the Stomp to School challenge or the School Street scheme)
• To understand parent’s/guardian’s views of the scheme, the app and their impacts

A mostly quantitative survey was launched for wave 2, open from Monday 13 June 2022 till Friday 22 July 2022. The online survey was promoted via the following marketing and communication channels:

• School Streets special addition newsletter to parents/guardians
• Survey link and QR code for schools to promote
• Face-to-face promotion on the school street with the provision of paper surveys

The response rate for wave 2 was 130, making a total response rate for both waves of 221.

This chart shows that across both waves:
