Post-16 Transport to Education and Training: Transport Policy Statement 2026/27 - 7. What help can students apply for if they need to travel to a course that is beyond their local authority area?

Concessions detailed in this policy may only apply to journeys within the West Midlands metropolitan area. However, some colleges provide a bus service for their students.

The Council will assess the individual circumstances of each Student with special educational needs or disabilities and their need for travel assistance where those Students attend a course that is outside the Walsall area, if this is the nearest appropriate learning provider. 

Students who need to travel to a course outside the borough of Walsall should contact Walsall Council’s Children’s Services Transport Team on 01922 653761 or 653762.
