Home to School Transport Position Statement and Cost Analysis
Home to School Transport
In 2016, ADCS contacted all DCSs to request information on home to school transport spend in 2015/16. The data received showed that local authorities across England spent approximately £1 billion on home to school transport during 2015/16.
ADCS has shared the findings with DfE and has called for a review of local authority duties in this area, urging a greater targeting of the criteria and consideration of how an increasingly school-led system can better support the transport needs of students.
If you are developing new and innovative approaches to home to school transport and are able to share examples of the work you are doing, please contact esther@adcs.org.uk
