Are you switched on to helping the environment and to making new friends?
Have a look at Ruyton’s Link-a-Lift Scheme: it’s free; it’s a first and it’s environmentally sustainable! What could be better than that?
Ruyton Girls’ School is the first school in Victoria to participate in a pilot software programme sharing lifts to school. The Link-a-Lift Scheme is a partnership between the Victorian Government and Ruyton. Many businesses run car pooling schemes but schemes in schools have different requirements.
The Link-a-Lift Scheme is a secure software programme accessed through Ruyton’s own website. Interested families can search for other School families living in their area who may be looking to share a lift to or from School. Inevitably it will have positive knock-on effects for activities such as after school sport or early morning orchestra practice.
The School's Principal Ms Linda Douglas says it is a great way to connect the Ruyton community together, at the same time as reducing traffic congestion around the school and improving air quality. “We’ve been working with the Department of Transport’s TravelSmart team since 2006 to encourage students to make smarter choices about how they travel to School. We have three Walking School Buses in operation and the Link-a-Lift Scheme is the result of three year’s work to find the best way to get families to share car rides.”
Ruyton already has many families who share lifts to School - this computer software programme will facilitate their arrangements. Ruyton believes the Link-a-Lift Scheme will make a real difference to the way its families travel to School.
