In certain cases, pupils and post 16 students who do not qualify for free or denominational transport may be allowed to travel on existing buses contracted by the City Council, if seats are available. Passes are issued strictly on a "first come, first served" basis and the City Council cannot guarantee to give advance warning if seats are no longer available at the commencement of each term. The issue of a pass for one term does not guarantee the issue of subsequent passes. Payment must be made prior to the commencement of each term's travel.
 
Discretionary transport is NOT available on all services contracted by the city council.
 
1. What is the parental contribution for discretionary transport?
 
The contribution (which is subject to a yearly review) is as follows:
£51 per half term per child
£102 per term per child
 
2. Will I be sent a reminder when my child's bus pass needs renewing?
 
No. All parents are responsible for ensuring that their child is in possession of a valid bus pass and must ensure that payment is made 10 working days prior to the commencement of the travel period
 
Note to parent/carer: If you have a permanent disability which prevents you from taking your child to school, then your child may be eligible for transport assistance.  Please contact the Transport Officer, Children's Service on 01733 863970.
