Post 16 statement
Local authorities do not have to provide free or subsidised post 16 travel support. They do have a duty to prepare and publish an annual transport policy statement specifying the arrangements for the provision of transport or other support that the authority considers it necessary to make to facilitate the attendance of all persons of sixth form age receiving education or training.
This transport policy statement is for:
- young people aged 16-18 in further education
- continuing learners aged 19
- those young people aged 19-24 (inclusive) with learning difficulties and/or disabilities
The statement details the different travel options and support available, and how to apply for them.
