Post-16 transport


What are your options

You and your parents or carers need to explore all avenues available to get you to and from the school or college. This could be walking to college, cycling, car share, public transport, vacant seat scheme or a private taxi.

Public transport

Where there is public transport serving a school or college, it is expected that you, your parent or your carer should make travel arrangements directly with the bus or rail company.

Contact Traveline on 0871 200 22 33 or visit the Traveline South West website for information on the public services in your area.

National Rail Enquiries can help with rail information. A new national rail card for 16-17 year olds has been introduced saving up to 50% on fares. Please visit 16-17 saver.

If there is no suitable public transport available to take you to your school or college, but there is a contract vehicle already running, you can apply for a ‘vacant seat’ on that vehicle. Find out more about vacant seats.

If you are not able to travel by public transport or on a contract vehicle because you have additional needs, Devon County Council may be able to provide support for independent travel training. Please contact a member of the Transport Co-ordination Service to discuss this further on 0345 155 1019.
