Post 16 School Travel scheme

Students whose families are on low incomes should apply for an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), which may be used to assist with the cost of transport to and from college.

Students that are refused an EMA on grounds, other than family income, may apply to the City Council Education Transport Department for a Half-Fare Student Travel Pass for a commercial bus service, providing they meet the qualifying criteria.

Students attending a college outside of the Greater Nottingham Transport Area may apply to the LEA for a Half-Fare Student Travel Pass if the college is the nearest that offers the desired course and the course cannot be taken at a college local to the students home address.

In special circumstances students with mobility difficulties or special educational needs may be provided with specialised transport services by the LEA, based on the nature of their disability. There is no charge made to the student for this service.
