Lack of active mobility choices and high rate of traffic accidents result in an unsafe urban environment for school children. Providing adequate walking and cycling infrastructure around school facilities has to start early to shift mindsets.

Get to school sustainably is an infrastructure and capacity development project that aims at shifting modal split at Zhytomyr's public schools from motorized towards sustainable modes of transport. The pilot aims at (re-)constructing the sidewalks near the school and installation of safe cross-walks. Furthermore, bike racks will be installed and guidelines and instructions for cycling to school will be developed.
