This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Holly Bruce:- "Council reiterates its support in the Active Travel Strategy for more school-age children to walk, wheel and cycle, and recalls its ambition to increase the number of walking or bike buses across Glasgow. Council notes there are now regular bike buses, which offer pupils a safe way to travel to school as part of a group, at Shawlands, Ibrox, Merrylee, St Fillan's and Hillhead primary schools. Council offers thanks to all the parent volunteers involved in setting up and running these bike buses and to Council and Police Scotland officers who have provided important support. Council recognises that as well as providing a fun and healthy way of getting to school, bike buses also highlight the current lack of safe cycling infrastructure and routes suitable for children to travel to school and reaffirms the importance of the City Network in providing safe cycling access to all schools in the city. Council notes that bike buses provide an opportunity to change transport habits and behaviours, helping to encourage the uptake of active travel so that it becomes the norm rather than the exception. As a result, bike buses positively impact on the Council's net zero ambition by decreasing carbon emissions. Council congratulates members of Shawlands Bike Bus on attending the first international bike bus summit in Barcelona which discussed how groups can organise, share ideas and get inspired. The summit signed a joint statement called the Barcelona Declaration that presented the case for safer cycling to school. Council believes that there is an opportunity to use the momentum generated by the new bike buses, aligned to the UCI World Championships taking place in 2023, to substantially increase the number of bike buses in the city, with the aim of having at least one in each of the 23 council wards. Council therefore asks the Executive Directors of NRS and Education Services to bring forward a paper on how this aspiration can be supported, including: - Promoting Cycling Scotland's bike bus toolkit as part of the School Travel and Road Safety (STARS) online resource. - Considering what other resources or support could be provided for a wider toolkit, including access to bikes, safety equipment, block insurance allowing unaccompanied children to take part and route-planning advice, in particular this should take account barriers which may be faced by particular groups with protected characteristics or socio-economic factors. - Working collaboratively with Glasgow Life's Active Schools programme on coordinating bike bus activity. - Writing to all primary schools and parent councils to make them aware of support available and encourage them to explore setting up a bike bus.".
