Free School Travel

Southampton City Council has recently updated its Free School Travel Policy and there are some important changes to the rules from September 2008.

The links below will help you to work out if your child could get free school travel. There are also some frequently asked questions about things like means testing and how distances are measured.

You can also use view or download the old and the new policies and application forms.

If you are unsure if your child could get free school travel, or have any other questions, please contact the Transport Coordination Unit (TCU).
