Personal Transport Budgets

How you can use a Personal Transport Budget

Personal Transport Budgets can be used in many ways. Some examples are to:

  • Pay for fuel or running costs on a family vehicle to drive your child to school or setting.
  • Hire a vehicle if you do not have one.
  • Pay for a shared taxi with other pupils.
  • Pay for a trusted adult to take another child in the family to school to allow you to transport your child with SEND.
  • Pay for childcare for another child in the family to allow you to transport your child with SEND.
  • Buy a public transport travel pass for another child in the family so that they can travel to and from school. This is then allowing you to transport your child with SEND.
  • Buy a public transport travel pass for yourself or a trusted adult to accompany your child.
  • If your child is a confident cyclist, buying them a bicycle and paying for its maintenance.
  • Car share with other parents.
