It was launched in 1998, by Toyota, in collaboration with RoSPA and Catalyst Theatre in Health Education Company - who devise and perform the programmes. Year One, entitled 'On the Road' examined road safety issues with children aged 7 - 11, and owing to the enormous response to the campaign from children, educationalists and specialists within the safety field, Toyota and RoSPA chose to retain the road safety theme in year 2. However, year 2 focused more specifically on 7 year olds and the journey to school. In year 3, the programme focused on a class of school children on a school trip to an outdoor centre, addressing risk areas of passenger safety and site safety away from home. Each programme features the same two main central characters Simon and Tanya.
Following the success of the three programmes, Toyota extended the funding to allow On the Road to be continued for a further year and this tour ran from January to March 2002.
