Post-16 Transport Policy Statements
Each Local Authority (LA) has a legal duty to publish its Transport Policy Statement for learners of sixth form age. The Policy Statement is designed to be the front facing element of the LA’s approach to transport provision and should be developed in consultation with local partners.
The statement sets out what the LA’s overall transport policy is in regard to learners. It also outlines the actual transport services and support available to learners. Broadly it includes: the time and distance between home and school/provider; the need to secure a choice of institutions and the needs of those who could not easily attend a particular institution if no arrangements were made (i.e. learners with specific religious needs or with a disability).
Each LA publishes a Policy Statement which provides a clear summary of what is available from the learner’s perspective.
The YPLA provides some funding to support Transport Partnerships so that they are able to test strategic and innovative transport solutions for learners of sixth form age. Some of the funding can also be used to support the cost of adult LLDD transport provision and for other purposes.
