Home to School Travel Support Policy consultation

Bristol City Council provides Home to School Travel services to empower young people to travel to and from education safely and as independently as possible.

This may be a free bus pass, a free rail pass, payment for mileage driven by parents or carers, or a personal travel budget (PTB). We ensure that our policies are in line with current national guidance, fair for children and families, and are an effective use of available resources.
