Active Travel Logger The Bike Hub, with Fingal County Council

Your schools are travelling actively. Now you can prove it.

Active Travel Logger records how every pupil got to school, every morning, across your whole network. It takes a teacher about a minute a day, stores no personal data, and gives you live figures you can put straight into a programme report.

A classroom whiteboard showing the morning roll call: 22 of 25 pupils checked in, 86% active travel, with each pupil's tile marked walk, cycle, scooter, park and stride, bus or car.

The data gap that holds programmes back

Thousands of Irish pupils walk, cycle and scoot to school every day. Councils have active travel targets to hit and schools need data to show progress. Most areas still have no reliable way to measure what is actually happening at the school gate.

Paper sign-in sheets

Collected once a week, rarely analysed, impossible to aggregate across a cluster. The data stays in a drawer and never reaches the council.

One-off surveys

A snapshot in May tells you nothing about October. Travel patterns shift with the weather, the seasons and the school calendar.

The school gate problem

Without daily figures it is hard to make the case for safe routes, cycle lanes or a school street — the infrastructure that actually changes behaviour.

Simple for teachers. Powerful for councils.

Set-up is a one-off task for the school. After that the data arrives on its own.

Step 1

The school sets up once

An admin creates classes and adds pupils under anonymous colour-animal names. No personal data is stored and there is nothing for teachers to learn.

About 10 minutes, once
Step 2

Teachers take the morning roll call

On the classroom whiteboard the teacher taps each pupil's tile and marks how they travelled. It happens alongside attendance, before the bell.

About 60 seconds a day
Step 3

You see the figures the same morning

Dashboards show active travel rates by class, school and cluster as the returns come in. Export any date range to CSV for reporting.

Live, with no manual collation

One system, three places people use it

In the classroom

The morning roll call, with travel added

Teachers mark how each pupil travelled while they take attendance, on the whiteboard that is already switched on. The class tally builds as they go.

  • Large touch targets for every pupil
  • Eight travel modes, including park & stride
  • Protected by a school passphrase, with no accounts to manage
  • Pupils can check themselves in on a phone instead

In the staffroom

What the school sees the same morning

A principal opens the dashboard and the morning is already there — the rate, the mode mix, the class leaderboard and the distance walked and cycled.

  • Active travel rate by class and by day
  • CO₂ saved and car trips avoided
  • Ten-day trend against the school's target

Every school in the programme, on one screen

Cluster and council views put the same figures together: which schools are moving, which need attention, and how the whole programme is tracking against its target.

  • Every school mapped and ranked by active travel rate
  • Progress against the 2030 goal
  • CSV export for any date range
A cluster dashboard: 90% active travel across six schools, a map of school locations, a school league table and the cluster mode mix.

Everything the platform does

GDPR by design

Pupils are identified only by a randomly assigned colour-animal name, such as Amber Fox or Blue Heron. No real names, no photos, no personal data stored.

Fully bilingual

Every screen, label and message is available in Irish and English. The language can be switched at any time and the choice persists across the app.

Wild Atlantic Way journey

Each active day moves a pupil further along the Wild Atlantic Way, from Kinsale to Malin Head, unlocking landmarks and marking streaks.

CSV export

Export journey data by school, cluster or council for any date range, ready to drop into a report or a planning document.

Works on the devices schools already have

Nothing to install. Runs in the browser on interactive whiteboards, phones, tablets and laptops, including Chromebooks.

Eight travel modes

Walk, cycle, scooter, park & stride, bus, train or Luas, car share and car. Real mode data, not just active against inactive.

The evidence base schools actually need

Annual surveys give you one data point a year. Active Travel Logger gives you around 180 school days of evidence, gathered as part of the morning routine rather than added to it.

Daily data, not snapshots

Every school day adds to the record, so the evidence base builds itself.

Mode breakdown reports

A full breakdown by mode, class and date range — the shape programme documentation asks for.

Year-on-year trends

Compare terms and years to show whether active travel rates are actually moving.

CO₂ savings calculated

Savings worked out per active journey, for environmental impact reporting.

Data your active travel programme needs

Active travel officers have to justify investment, report to funders and track progress against targets. This gives you those figures at school, cluster and council level, without ringing round for them.

  • Live dashboards for every school in your area
  • Progress tracking against active travel targets
  • School-level comparison to show where to focus effort
  • CSV export for programme reporting
  • Council branding on the schools' screens

Your council's colours, in every classroom

Set an accent colour and a logo once and every screen picks them up — the classroom board, the pupil check-in and the dashboards. Publish a campaign message and it appears above the roll call the next morning.
