Does my child qualify for travel assistance?

Pupils and students may qualify for travel assistance for a number of reasons; they may have a physical disability or learning disability which would mean they would be unable to get to and from school in the same way as their peers. Eligibility may change over a pupil/students career and you may have to re-apply for travel assistance from time to time.

School bus passes are only available to children who live in Manchester and attending a Manchester school. There is an exception to this for year 10 and 11 students who have just moved to Manchester from another authority as it is seen that the move to a new school at such a late stage in their schooling may be detrimental to the student.

If you think your child may be eligible for travel assistance please contact the Travel Coordination Unit on 0161 219 6400.
