The feature map above is part of a series of maps by sector identifying eligibility for Home to School Transport when applying different eligibility criteria. The buffered areas in green, yellow & red respectively demonstrate the average walking distance that students travel to reach their grammar school. These types of maps have been used for decision making – particularly in the area of policy change impact assessment.
