Details
‘Allocations for extended rights to free travel and general duty to promote sustainable travel: 2018 to 2022’ shows how much funding local authorities have received from the Department for Education for free school travel in each financial year from 2018 to 2022.
Local authorities use this funding to pay for home-to-school travel for children from low income families, as required by the Education Act 1996. Further information is available in the home to school travel and transport statutory guidance.
Funding is paid directly from DfE to local authorities in monthly instalments as a Section 31 grant.
