Specialist Transport

School age pupils are eligible for free home to school travel support if they:

• Are attending their nearest qualifying school and meet the eligible distance criteria relevant to their age group; or
• Are from a low-income family and are attending a qualifying school and meet the eligible distance criteria; or
• Attend their nearest qualifying school and unable to walk or access public transport because of their Special Educational Need Disability (SEND) or mobility.

Please note that Sefton Council does not provide financial support for post-16 student travel.

We may still provide travel support to post 16 students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability who cannot travel independently. These are assessed on an individual basis using the Post 16 Transport Policy Statement.
