How do I apply for travel assistance?

Parents must apply for travel assistance by completing an application form. This will be assessed to see if the pupil/student qualifies for travel assistance and parents will be informed of the outcome.

There's no entitlement to travel expenses or reimbursements for transport arrangements made by parents before they apply to the council or whilst the application is being processed for travel assistance.

If your circumstances change such as change of address or change of school placement then a new application form will need to be completed.

A new application is required when a pupil leaves year 11.

Travel assistance will not be commissioned until the contribution payment has been received from the parent/carer.
