JTAs Published in 'The Buzz' Magazine!

We are delighted to announce that our JTAs (Junior Travel Ambassadors) have been published in the latest edition of the Havering 'Buzz' Magazine.

Published termly the magazine is a way for JTAs from across the Borough to communicate the initiatives they have been working on in school and tell others about the positive impact they have had.

Please have a read of the article below!

What is a JTA?
Specifically aimed at Year 56 pupils, as they prepare to start secondary school and begin travelling by themselves for the first time, the JTA scheme aims to take a more direct approach to promoting independent travel. This includes running projects and schemes to share ideas on travel planning and learning how to use TfL's Journey Planner.


Each JTA receives their own badge at the start of their role and a certificate of participation once they have finished.
