Post 16 travel scheme
Before you consider applying to Norfolk County Council's Post 16 travel scheme, it is worth checking with your local bus and train operator about buying your travel pass direct from them as this could be cheaper and more flexible. Check discounts offered by bus and train operators for a summary of discounts available.
Norfolk County Council's Post 16 travel scheme pages have lots of useful information, such as:
- More about the scheme and who qualifies for travel support
- How to apply and track your application
- The different transport options for every sixth form and college in Norfolk
- The costs and payment options including a 25% discount option if you are on qualifying benefits
- Answers to frequently asked questions about post 16 travel
- Terms and conditions that apply to the scheme
- You can also apply for a cycling allowance instead of a travel pass.
More information, including information on core routes, is available from Norfolk County Council's Post 16 travel scheme website or by calling 0344 800 8020
Please note:
This scheme doesn't apply if you are on an apprenticeship or a higher education course such as a degree.
If you do intend to travel at other times it may be more cost-effective to buy pre-paid tickets issued directly by your local bus or train operator if they offer a 16-19 discount.
If a child or young person has an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) there is no need to apply for travel assistance as the Travel Independence Training Team (TITAN) are already assessing who is entitled to travel assistance.
