Modeshift STARS

Achieving school travel awards

Modeshift STARS programme

Modeshift STARS is the national schools awards scheme that has been established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel.

The scheme encourages schools across Milton Keynes and the rest of the country to join in a major effort to increase levels of sustainable and active travel.

Every school in Milton Keynes can participate in Modeshift STARS for free.  On completion of an application for STARS, schools will automatically have a brand new national standard School Travel Plan.

To take part, please visit the Modeshift STARS website, select ‘register’ and away you go.
