          <p>the named owner of the school travel plan to commit to continuous development of the travel </p>
          <p>plan and ambition to achieve an improved rating going forward. This would trigger further soft </p>
          <p>interventions to the school such as level 3 or other cycle training measures and a suite of </p>
          <p>other complementary offers. More details of how this would work can be given after contract </p>
          <p>award and project kick-off meeting.</p>
