Apply for Travel Assistance for the 2026/27 School Year!
The Children and Young People’s Travel Service is now accepting travel assistance applications for the 2026/27 school year. It’s important to apply in good time as the application window closes on Sunday 31st May 2026.
For more on travel assistance and the application process, please download the information leaflet.
The Children and Young People’s Travel Service provides transport to over 5000 pupils via 1100 travel routes across the city. Many of our children and young people are vulnerable with special educational needs or disabilities, and unable to make their way to school either independently or accompanied by an adult.
Birmingham City Council provides travel assistance to pupils who meet the eligibility requirements for transport, aged 5-16, post-16 and post-19, ensuring our pupils are safely transported to and from school. We offer Independent Travel Training programmes to help our pupils achieve independence as they move to becoming young adults.
