Create Your Own Sustainable Travel Leaflet
Pindar Creative has developed an online portal, SALI, to enable organisations to generate site-specific sustainable travel leaflets (web and print) for large numbers of schools and workplaces in their area.
Using OpenStreetMap or custom mapping and combining with one of a series of pre-defined templates for schools, workplaces or community groups, users can create tailored publications in just a few minutes.
Users can add the site name, walking routes, isochrones to show five-minute walking zones (or parking exclusion zones), park and strides sites and cycling facilities. Drag-and-drop icons can also be added to the map.
Schools and workplaces have been able to adapt their templates during the current travel restrictions to provide guidance on social distancing on the school run, pavement parking, voluntary exclusion zones, drop-off and pick-up information, and staggered start times. Schools and workplaces can host the leaflets online and email them to parents and staff to promote active and sustainable travel. A high-resolution PDF can also be downloaded for those organisations who want to provide printed copies.
SALI is currently used across more than 30 local authority areas in the UK and was shortlisted for Modeshift's National Sustainable Travel Awards and Landor's TransTech Award.
Discover how Leicestershire County Council's Choose How You Move initiative is using SALI to help schools and workplaces promote active travel.
We work in partnership with a wide range of organisations to support their active and sustainable travel initiatives by delivering cost-effective solutions that make use of royalty-free mapping resources, where possible.
