If your child accesses transport, please make sure you are aware of the proposed changes and have your say! Please see full details below

Consultation on the 2026/2027 Transport Policy

*If you access transport for your child, please see below a consultation for parents/carers to proposed changes to the current system*

Doncaster Council are seeking parents/carers view on a proposal to introduce Personal Travel Budgets (PTBs) for eligible learners from September 2026, replacing council arranged transport such as taxis or minibuses.

From September 2026, eligible young people with SEND in post‑16 education and training would receive a Personal Travel Budget instead of council arranged transport. Adult learners aged 19–25 who qualify for travel assistance would also be able to receive a PTB.

More information : https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/services/schools/education-transport

This Consultation will run from 19th January 2026 to 28th February 2026.

Have your say here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=wCoeBPMz3k-4qTOnH35sskUY1OkpRZ1JiTHgyhDvWMpUODhNVk9ZVkFIWDdJWkFKR0hOUVNCMllXUy4u
