95% of UK schools lack up to date travel information, leading to a shortage of joined-up transport solutions.

HomeRun STEP solves this 
by providing accurate travel data for all schools.

The Challenge 

_Pie chart.png

The school run causes up to 51% of morning rush-hour traffic across the UK; and is a key contributor to air pollution and the climate crisis.

But the tools and data used to measure and manage this problem are not fit for purpose – 95% of schools lack up to date travel information, mainly because it’s so difficult to engage schools on transport.


The result? The school run continues to get ignored in transport planning - effectively discriminating against the transport needs of families, and scarce funding often gets allocated to the most affluent areas.

So… what if we didn’t need to engage schools to obtain accurate school travel data?

STEP Methodology

We’ve created our School Travel Evaluation Platform, leveraging our existing data set of 100,000+ journeys and using cutting-edge predictive modelling to analyse the school run across the entire country, without needing data from schools. 

Game changing

We are proud that STEP is the result of a project conducted in partnership with Essex County Council, and is part-funded by a grant from the Department for Transport that we won through an Innovate UK competition.

The journey to school is one of the biggest transport issues the country faces. STEP will provide invaluable insight into existing travel patterns to support existing strategies and future projects, enabling hyperlocal solutions based on data.
