TfL STARS Travel Ambassador Program

15 May 2023

We are excited to share with you that we are continuing to participate in the Transport for London STARS Travel Ambassadors Program. This program is designed to empower students to promote active and sustainable travel, such as walking, cycling, carpool and public transport, to and from school.

Sustainable travel is important for many reasons. Firstly, it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, which, of course, significantly increases the temperatures of the Earth, which can have astronomical impacts. Using active and sustainable modes of transport can help decrease the number of cars on the road, which in turn reduces emissions from vehicles. Secondly, sustainable travel can also have significant health benefits, including improved physical fitness, reduced stress levels, and lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and obesity, all whilst providing oneself with a guilt-free feeling. Finally, it can also help improve air quality, reducing exposure to harmful pollutants that can have negative impacts on respiratory health.

Our club has been working hard to promote sustainable travel in our school community. Last year, we ran a successful campaign on road safety and created walking maps to encourage students to walk or cycle to school and achieved both Bronze and Silver awards in the space of a year. This year, we have been undertaking citizen science experiments to measure air quality around the school. Using sticky tape, we measured particulates in the air and found that the loop road was the worst area, suggesting an urgent need for sustainable travel! We also have an Airly air quality monitor in the school, and the data we have looked at shows that levels are 50% higher than the maximum level set by the World Health Organization, and the worst time is during pick up and drop off. Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause damage to the respiratory tract and increase a person’s vulnerability to, and the severity of, respiratory infections and asthma. Long-term exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause chronic lung disease.

In 2020, a ruling was made that air pollution was the cause of death of Ella Kissi-Debrah in London, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan called it a “public health crisis”. This heart-breaking story should remind us daily the effects of our actions, and we highly encourage all to travel sustainably wherever possible. We are hoping that our work this year will enable us to shift our transport habits to use less polluting modes of transport and create a cleaner air zone around our school, especially on the loop road, and to reduce the risk of the recurrence of stories like Ella’s.

Through the STARS Travel Ambassadors Program, we are working towards achieving the gold award for our efforts in promoting sustainable travel among our peers. By participating in this program, we hope to inspire others to make sustainable travel choices and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Thank you for your support, stay tuned for updates on our progress, and remember to travel sustainably, because, to quote Tesco, Every Little Helps!

Samhita, TfL Ambassador

Travel Ambassadors to ‘keep London moving’ during strikes

TfL will bring over 1,000 travel ‘Ambassadors’ into Tube stations in the event of strikes in February.

The company announced that staff had signed up to be Ambassadors, and would be stationed at Tube ticket offices to keep customers informed and keep the service running smoothly. They will be joined by volunteers to minimise the disruption caused by RMT strikes on 4-6 and 11-13 February.

The strikes concern TfL’s plans to close all Tube station ticket offices, which would affect 750 jobs .

LU and RMT leaders will be meeting at Acas to try to resolve the dispute ahead of the planned industrial action.

Phil Hufton, LU’s chief operating officer, said: “Under our plans to modernise the service we offer our customers all of our stations will remain staffed and controlled by our people at all times when services are operating. In fact, we will have more staff visible and available in ticket halls and on platforms to help customers buy the right ticket, plan their journeys and to keep them safe and secure. We’re also committed to implementing these changes without compulsory redundancies. There’ll be a job for everyone at LU who wants to work with us and be flexible.

“Given these assurances, we urge the RMT and TSSA union leaderships to end their strike threats and to work with us to shape the future of the Tube. However, should a strike go ahead, we’re determined to keep London moving and open for business and our TfL Ambassadors will play an important role. All a strike will achieve is lose those who take part four days’ pay.”

Why can't the Leaders of both sides in this dispute sit down over a cup of tea/coffee and thrash out their differences like sentient beings should? Confrontation by strikes OR bringing in "Shamateurs" is NOT the answer. Agreement is best, even if, like Graeae, they have to pass the brain cell backwards and forwards to each other. And who suffers while all this posturing is going on? Of course, the fare paying public. Remember that please, TfL, when you suddenly announce initiatives off the tops of your head prior to assessment and agreement.

CYCLING IN HOUNSLOW

tfl stars Poster competition

Unique Academy is taking part in the TFL STARS Award and we are aiming for the Bronze award. The purpose of the TFL STARS Award is to support pupils’ wellbeing, help to reduce congestion around the school and improve road safety and air quality.

What is tfl stars.

STARS is TFL’s accreditation scheme for London schools and nurseries. STARS inspires young Londoners to travel to school sustainably, actively, responsibly and safely by championing walking, scooting and cycling. STARS supports pupils’ wellbeing, helps to reduce congestion at the school gates and improve road safety and air quality.

What is TFL Stars accreditation?

If Junior Travel Ambassador’s are successful in completing a range of activities to promote healthier travel in their community, they can apply to receive the TFL Stars gold, silver or bronze award.

Who are the Junior Travel Ambassador’s?

Our Junior Travel Ambassador team will be a group of children from Key Stage 2 who give their free time to work alongside Travel Champions to promote, build awareness and participate in travel issues in and around out school.

Joining over half the school’s in London, Unique Academy’s Junior Travel Ambassadors will work on making their environment healthier and safer by recognising ways to improving road safety and the health and wellbeing of members of our school community.

What activities will the Junior Travel Ambassador’s be involved with?

Our Ambassadors will work busily on many activities throughout the year including giving feedback, conducting surveys, planning activities and creating positive attitudes to travel under the guidance and support of our local borough representatives.
