This study aimed to collect data on exposure school travel by a student as well as improve the quality of information on exposure travel among the student. A total of 2543 parents have participated that included items relating to the characteristic of children, mode of transport, distance home to school and crash history. Mean travel home to school is 1020 km each year. The mean crash rate (based on self-reported crash involvement) was 0.22 crashes/10,000km.
