Applying for council travel support
Applications for travel support for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities should be made via the Transport to school and college (Leicester City Council website).
Applications for travel assistance for students age 16 and above in colleges of further education to commence at the start of the Autumn Term, should be made wherever possible by the last day of the summer term prior to the start of the new academic year. The LA cannot guarantee to provide travel assistance from the first day of the Autumn Term if applications are received after this date. Where late applications are submitted, parents/carers and/or sixth form students may have to make their own interim travel arrangements, the cost of which cannot normally be reimbursed.
Young people attending further education establishments will need to re-apply annually, providing evidence of both satisfactory attendance and progress.
