5 years on School Bus Caluire Back on the history of the Walking School Bus in Caluire: early 2005, the Grand Lyon offers a survey of the Home School Travel Plan (PDDE).
Children are encouraged to ask their parents about how they went to school 20 years ago.
The survey identifies those likely to walk to school on the same neighborhood.
The parents elected to have a software for analyzing results. Current
May 2005, a presentation of the results is made to parents in the presence of the municipality. The danger points around the school are discussed.
An aerial view of the school sector is presented, and the Walking School Bus initiative.
Interested parents have access to student data ready to come off to school district. They contact them by phone and launch an experimental line Pédibus.
Thus in June 2005, three schools have launched the Walking School Bus on Caluire.
2005 :
3 schools engage in the process (Bertie Albrecht, Edouard Herriot and Paul Bert)
2006 :
5 schools (10 lines) and Jean Moulin integrate Ampere approach
2007 :
6 schools (12 lines) Petit Versailles launches online
2008 :
7 schools (13 lines) Jules Verne launched a line, but stops after one year fault coordinator
2009 :
7 schools (15 lines) Victor Basch launches 2 lines
2010 :
8 schools (17 lines) Pierre and Marie Curie launches 2 lines
After starting shy of 3 schools A group PDDE inter-school is created to pool the shares Pédibus and share with schools in integrating the municipality.
Today again, meetings are held to review the School Bus lines Caluire, on road improvements, the difficulties on joint actions.
This group allows to link the School Bus lines: it gives coherence to this Caluire sustainable development.
The balance after 5 years of Pédibus shows a clear awareness of students and their parents to avoid going by car to school.
Pédibus Not always, but what if one comes in soft mode to school.
In 2005, the investigation had established that
94% of children lived less than 750 meters from the school only
42% came on foot. In 2008, children in the CME had a new survey
60% of children come off. This means that the trend has reversed: today, more children come on foot or by car. It is very important for our environment but also for the safety of our children around the school.
PEDIBUS LONG LIVE!
