Post-16 transport


Assessment of need

Where you cannot make your own arrangements to get to a school or college and there is no public transport or vacant seat available then you can talk to the Transport Co-ordination Service about what other support may be available. In some cases this will mean that an assessment of need will be carried out.

During the assessment of need process, the Transport Co-ordination Service will ask a series of questions to find out why you, your parents or carers are not able to make the necessary travel arrangements. They will identify the minimum help required to remove transport as a barrier to you continuing in education.

You, your parents or carers will need to provide additional evidence to support the assessment of need. The normal parental contribution for the academic year will be applied to any support provided by Devon County Council.

For further information about whether you are eligible to be considered for an assessment call 0345 155 1019.
