Overview
Bolton Council provides help with travel between home and school for students in mainstream and special schools, as well as for eligible college students with special educational needs. We are responsible for making sure that eligible children have the correct travel arrangements to get to their nearest suitable qualifying school or other relevant institutions.
The following pages explain the available support. They should be used as a guide, but for complete details please see the full policies in the downloads section.
If you are a parent with a disability and unable to accompany your child(ren) to school along a walking route that would otherwise be considered unsafe without adult supervision, you may be able to receive travel assistance. Please email the ITU.applications@bolton.gov.uk for further details.
