If you need transport support to get to your post-16 setting, you will need to re-apply each year. It is not an automatic entitlement after compulsory school age. You may want to ask your parent/carer to help with this. This is because your circumstances and needs can change.
You need to apply for travel support every year when your young person is in Year 12 and above.
You can also ask for a paper form from the Travel Assessment and Training Team:

There is a family cost of £540 a year for travel support in post-16 education. This amount is based on you going to school/college 5 days a week. This amount can reduce depending on the number of days you are attending.
You may be able to get a 16 - 19 bursary to help with this cost. Your school, college or training provider can give you the forms to complete. Travel support is not given for:
Responsibility for this remains with your parent/carers, school, or college.
