Medway Walking Bus Scheme Cliffe, Medway A walking bus is a fun, healthy, safe and sustainable way for children travelling to school. Children and volunteers walk in a group along a set route, picking up or dropping off ‘passengers' at specific ‘bus stops' on their journey to and from school. Each walking bus contains a minimum of two adults, often staff or parents, per route; an adult ‘driver' at the front and a "conductor" at the back of the bus. VolkerHighways supported the scheme by donating £3,000 to sponsor a Walking Bus stop route. The donation helped Medway to fund the scheme and went towards the following: Installation of walking bus stops Road safety training for every walking bus volunteer High visibility tabards for walking bus users Arrangement of employers' liability
