Students with an education, health and care plan (EHCP)

There is no entitlement to free transport for students with an EHCP when they turn 16.

But once they enter year 15 - usually the school year in which they turn 19 - they will be eligible for free transport until age 25, as long as they continue in education or training, and still have an EHCP.

Visit SEND transport - cost of college/sixth form transport for more information.

You may be eligible for other help with transport costs from age 16:

• If you receive certain benefits
• Are on a low income
• If your college offers a discount
