This report describes the proposal to amend the ‘Post 16 travel and transport policy’.
Firstly, to cease to provide SEND transport for free, and instead ask families for a contribution of £540 towards the total cost of travel. Eligible families to use the 16-19 bursary to cover the cost of this contribution.
Secondly, to cease to provide a discretionary zero fare bus pass for students (due to income and distance from place of study) and instead expect them to use the 16-19 bursary to fund their home to school transport.
The report will also include findings from the consultation on Post-16 travel support which ran between 30th of January and the 24th of March.
