School Commutes

Increasing Safe
Independent Travel

Enabling pupils to travel safely and independently to school, and choosing sustainable modes of travel, are the most effective methods of reducing car usage. The key factor in helping parents make this decision is providing suitable alternatives that meet their concerns on safety and convenience.

HomeRun allows parents to monitor their children’s journeys to school and receive real-time notifications along the way. Parents can also put together travel buddy groups so that their children do not have to commute on their own.

Multi-modal Journey Sharing

For the many parents who cannot reasonably be expected to let their children travel independently to school, journey sharing is the next best option. However a major obstacle to this is that school communities are less connected than ever before and many parents do not know others beyond their child’s class.

HomeRun allows parents to find and connect with other suitable nearby parents from across their child’s school who are also looking to share their journeys.
