Answer

I have established a Safer Journeys to School Programme within the Department to examine options to improve safety for school journeys, including legislative options. This work is evidence-led to ensure interventions are effective and proportionate.

The Department remains committed to improving road safety and will continue to engage with stakeholders to deliver the most effective measures.
