Promoting ecomobility in school travel

What is school ecomobility?

On average, 70% of school trips for elementary school children are made by car every day, even though in urban areas the distance is less than 2 km.

School eco-mobility aims to encourage safer, more supportive and less polluting travel than the private car for school trips. From kindergarten to university, alternative modes of transport are favoured: public transport, cycling, walking…

How can we encourage ecomobility in schools and promote zero-emission travel?

Abriplus helps public and private schools promote bike commuting by advising them on the implementation of a school / college / high school / university travel plan.

Since 1992, Abriplus has been manufacturing and installing bicycle shelters for schools, colleges and universities throughout France.

We also have a range of bike stands and scooter racks perfectly adapted to the needs of educational institutions and students.

A-bike dock and outdoor scooter rack

Bicycle racks or bollards make it easy to secure all types of bicycles.

Schools also prefer scooter racks, as many students use this mode of transport on a daily basis.

Shelter for students’ bikes and scooters

Open shelters for bikes and scooters are most commonly found in kindergartens, elementary school, secondary schools and universities, both public and private.

Their size can vary depending on the available floor space and the number of bikes to be secured.

These mixed bike-scooter shelters can be installed inside a closed enclosure or directly in the public space.

Cooma bike locker for students in cité U

Small, secure shelters or 6-bike boxes are very practical for students in halls of residence, as access is limited to a restricted number of users.

Bicycle repair stations are also popular with universities and schools, enabling students to carry out their ownbike maintenance.

NOMAD secure bike shelter for 20 bikes

Enclosed bike shelters provide maximum security for students’ bikes, thanks to the installation of an access control system at the door restricting access to the bike shelter.

Schools can also benefit from the Alvéole subsidy, which provides funding for up to 60% of the cost ofbicycle equipment.

These new facilities dedicated to bikes and scooters encourage students to use active modes of transport on their daily commutes: a benefit for both their health and the environment!
