Home to School Transport provided by County Council

LCC’s Home to School Transport Policy states that if you are over 16 years, you are unlikely to be entitled to free transport, but you can still travel on most contracted school buses/taxis provided by Lancashire County Council (providing places are not already taken by students under 16 years). You can pay a daily fare to the driver or if you want to save money you can buy a season ticket. For questions about your local Home to School Transport Policy, application forms, appeals and applying for a travel pass contact your Local Area Education Office or the school transport enquiry line (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm): Telephone 0300 123 6738 Email [email protected] http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/children-education-families/schools/school-transport/free-travel-to-and- from-school.aspx#post16
