Education Transport

Assisting partners involved in the planning and delivery of travel to access education, to respond to the challenges posed by legislative changes and encourage more sustainable learner travel behaviour

We provide:

• Education transport policy reviews to respond to the changing educational context
• Reviews of operational practice in the provision of statutory and discretionary home to school transport
• Quantitative and qualitative survey techniques to understand and respond to the ‘learner voice’
• Practical assistance in responding to the travel implications of the new 14-19 agenda

Recent projects include:

• Identifying and implementing solutions to improve access to educational opportunities, particularly the new diplomas, for young people across the County
