Cycling
I do not want my child to use the bus. Is there any way they can get help with cycling to school or college?
Yes, if you are entitled to post-16 travel assistance, you can opt to have a cycle grant of £200 a year instead. The cycle grant is a commitment for a full academic year and anyone applying for this grant must consider how they will travel when they are unable to cycle to school. See section 6 of our Home to school and college transport policy (PDF) [332KB] for more details.
