Before you apply
All post 16 students in year 12 or 13 must pay towards the cost of transport to sixth form or college.
The current cost is:
- a one-off payment of £570
- or, three termly instalments of £193 (a total of £579)
- or, six instalments of £96.50 (a total of £579)
Transport will not be arranged until part, or full payment is made. Once payment is received, a bus pass will be issued for the period paid for.
To qualify, students must be under the age of 19 on 1 September prior to the start of the course. They must also:
- live more than three miles away from the sixth form or college
- attend a sixth form or college within the designated transport area* (DTA) for their home address
- attend a sixth form or college outside the DTA, but that is nearer to their home address than a sixth form or college that falls within their DTA
*An area around a school or college from which resident pupils/students can get transport support subject to meeting the criteria for entitlement.
Designated transport areas can be viewed in our School and college transport policy, or you can email schooltransportapplications@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
Transport only includes your child's journey to and from the main school or college site in the morning and home from school at the end of the school day.
